I didn't see your response for this, could you send out your patches?

I admit that I'm not very clear about the limitation of '__weak' function,
but I do see there are many '__weak' function in common/board_f/r.c,
and my common board file is connect to the board_r.c.

@Simon, @Tom,
    Could you kindly give some comment here?
