Sorry, I was a bit lazy yesterday…

Now that I've looked at board/solidrun/mx6cuboxi/mx6cuboxi.c it seems
one is supposed to distinguish between boards by toying with GPIOs
(mx6cuboxi.c in u-boot), so nothing for d-i to worry about, as long as
the user picks the right bits for the relevant device (e.g. the right
SD-Card concatenateable images)?

This means this list (including board → devices mapping) should be kept
uptodate:

Does that make sense, or did I just lose myself in (h)arm-land?

Mraw,
KiBi.
