As more and more board variants are supported by unified source files,
functions like "is_specificboard()" are not scaling well - there's a
repetitive code for extracting hw-specific info, and then there's the
multiple functions that return true/false for each board variant.

Here's one proposal how this can be simplified a bit:

typedef enum
{
	BOARD_ALPHA,
	BOARD_BRAVO,
	BOARD_CHARLIE,
} model_t;

/* Can be also named is_board_variant() or something like this */
static bool is_board_model(model_t m)
{
	/* ... Extract HW info */

	switch (m)
	{
		case BOARD_ALPHA:
			if (check for this board model)
				return true;
			break;

		/* do same for the other board models */
		/* ... */
	}

	return false;
}

Not sure whether such code can be shared between different boards, but
can be a step towards unifying the handling of board models/variants.

I'm perfectly fine with Fabio's code here, just using the occasion to
share my idea.
