Well, there are some development boards around... and having u-boot able to boot on the devel board by default would be very very useful.I believe you but the point is somewhere else if you can reach it by universal
target.

Pretty much everyone when they test-boot their system...?Really? It means that all development boards/custom boards with socfpga
I believe you confuse with arch and board. These files are located inside board. For board/altera/socfpga, its referring to Altera dev kit. When another vendor, example like Xilinx, fabricated a board with SOCFPGA chip, then it will have another folder called board/xilinx/socfpga.
use the same configuration which seems to me weird.
If yes, then why these files are autogenerated if the same config can be use for all boards?
Probably an example will clear your doubt. When the board is fabricated, the pin mux used will be fixed. You won't need to change it until you fabricated a new board.
Hope this info helps. Thanks
