The board.c file looked really cluttered to me in the current state and
adding more board-specific code wouldn't help it.
Also there are some other potentially useful parameters in the hw_info
SPI flash area, which might be of use (board serial number and some
other values).

I do agree that a vendor specific solution isn't too elegant.
I might consider the mac command, which Marek has suggested.

Kind regards,
Luka
