Yes, this is the problem I want to slove. All sunxi based board use
board/sunxi by default,
I don't think it's a good way to adding other custom code to
board/sunxi.c, so I want
create another board and select it in Kconfig.

It's better if the dependence can convert to dt, but not all of them.
On my board there has an gpio watchdog and spi lcd. I need add
somethings to toggle
watchdog, prepare spi lcd and draw splash.
So I want create a board dir and select it in Kconfig.
