Yes, I saw those but when you said that board configuration file includes 
those, I thought that you meant the header files in include/configs.

But why PPC register description files are included there then? For example 
line 87:

#ifdef CONFIG_MPC86xx
#include <mpc86xx.h>
#include <asm/immap_86xx.h>
#endif

Is that deprecated?

And how would adding imx file with the same logic break other boards? I mean, 
putting there:

#if defined(CONFIG_MX25) || defined(CONFIG_MX31) || ...
#include <asm/arch/imx-regs.h>
#endif

But if the board configuration file in include/configs is the correct place to 
include it, I shall then find the obstacle on that approach...
