Dear Mike Frysinger,

I did not ask for moving it into a common file, but into the board
config file.

OK, so this is a "I think it makes more sense" and a "I find it
cleaner".  There was no "cannot", as far as I can tell.

I think it makes a lot of sense to try and move all board specific
configuration settings into a single file (the board config file);
this will, among other things, make it easier to make such settings
accessable through some config tool - assume somebody wants to take
steps toward Kconfig or such.

So please get rid of this config.mk file.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
