Actually I've no better idea and as Ben If we have the csb337 mainline
we will accept it

If I use this pacth on the rm9200ek the u-boot.bin size will increase
for nothing
If I was able to detect dynamicly on which board I will run ok
but it's not the case here
so please use
#ifdef CONFIG_MACH_xxx
#else
#endif
