This menu is for boards that need a built-in DTB, as MIPS currently
doesn't support appended DTBs it is the only way to load a DTB on
boards stuck with a broken boot loader. But as no board has been added
yet it only contain the entry for boards that don't need a built-in
DTB, which do nothing as you pointed out.

A board is then added in this menu in patch 14, for some reasons git
send-email didn't send the whole serie at once :(
