I understand this is just a rename, but I want to ask anyway: if flash type and RAM size are the only differences, then why do we need two separate board definitions here? Would not even the same U-Boot binary image run on both boards? These flashes are CFI compatible, so the CFI driver would work on both, and RAM size autodetection has been available in U-Boot forever. In worst case, we coul differentiate boards by an additional #define, which means we only need a single line entry in boards.cfg. Why do we need to support two board entries?
