I do intend to remove the card_type code later, and only send cx88
patches once the interface is cleaned up. It is only included
for now to have a working code without conflicting patches, and I
do not know exactly what the config structure should eventually
contain, that is, some of the current board-specific 'if' statements
may actually turn out to be unnecessary and can be made the same for
all cards.
