Generic board with #define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD is working fine. There is no visible difference between legacy and generic board code.

Applied to u-boot-ti/master, thanks!
Tom, or anybody else, in future when you are going to change some parts in u-boot and remove boards which do not convert in time... please can you contact me about it (via email, I see that contact info in file board/nokia/rx51/MAINTAINERS is correct)? I'm not following u-boot ML and I really did not know that conversion to generic board code is required before end of last year...
Basically Maemo users & developers use uboot v2013.04 version and for Nokia N900 there is no new functionality in new uboot versions. So there is nothing like "new features & fixed bugs" motivation.
But I do not want to see n900 board code removed from uboot as uboot bootloader is for n900 really useful (most for end-users who does not even know about existence of git, uboot ML, etc).
Before we do the (very soon now, -rc1 comes Monday) nuking, any board with a MAINTAINERS will get a CC, yes. But I expect MAINTAINERS to do some sort of sanity test at least once every few releases, especially since we have a regular release cycle.
