This should be BR2_HOST_SAM_BA...

Also, could you send this together with another patch that actually
uses this feature for at least one board, so we can see the type of
patches that it is going to add?

Thomas,
The patch will include applets (binaries) for each board.
Do you prefer another way (for example a sam-ba package including the support of the calao board downloadable from our website) ?
