Dear Timur Tabi,

Why do we define the same macros in config.mk and in the board header file?
We == Freescale here? I agree - I never understood this either.
Isn't it redundant to have these entries in config.mk? We seem to be doing this more and more, but config.mk is always board-specific, just like MPC8572DS.h.
Yes, this is redundant, and IMHO bogus. I always thought it was a local pastime at Freescale...
I think its a copy/paste thing that's just propagated w/o anyone asking why.
We probably based the first 85xx port on a 440 seeing as the 440's seem to do the following:
board/amcc/ebony/config.mk:PLATFORM_CPPFLAGS += -DCONFIG_440=1
any reason the 440's platforms do this?
