Ok, but I think the several of the boards are capable of running with all flavors of MPC834x what do we do for them? I know the MDS is and I'm questing TQM834x is as well?
I think so, but I cannot answer the before I've seen what TQ does on the TQM8347 :-(
I understand the desire, I just feel that it doesn't add anything because we've done a decent job of making the differences between them covered by feature configs.
As Tolunay explained: it's for consistency with existing boards. And I really think it does not hurt ao much to have both CONFIG_MPC834X and CONFIG_MPC8349 in the board config file if this is a 8349 only board, even if CONFIG_MPC8349 should never be used anywhere in the code.
