Hi Wolfgang,
The top level Makefile is growing and growing. Once, wehn we suppoted only a few tens of boards, it was possible to implement board configuration logic in the Makefile, but it quickly turned out that this doesn't scale. Also, it is not really needed (at least not any more) - we noch have mechanisnms in place, that allow for more efficient code.
The following patch series is an attempt to start some cleanup and reduce the size of the top level Makefile. The solution is neither perfect nor complete - there are quite a lot of boards that resist such a cleanup and need more thorough cleanup. But it's an initial step, showing what could and should be done, which boards have problems, and why this is the case. Eentually this paves the ground for a more friendly way to add new board configurations.
Wow, thanks for these cleanups. This is absolutely a good direction to simplify the makefile. For all three parts you have my
