OK, so this is a "I think it makes more sense" and a "I find it cleaner". There was no "cannot", as far as I can tell. I think it makes a lot of sense to try and move all board specific configuration settings into a single file (the board config file); this will, among other things, make it easier to make such settings accessable through some config tool - assume somebody wants to take steps toward Kconfig or such. So please get rid of this config.mk file.
