Subject: [Buildroot] Where does 'BOARD_NAME' Makefile.in variable come from?

I'm looking at the default config files and Makefile.in files for the
Atmel boards, and they all reference a variable named "BOARD_NAME".
For example from target/device/Atmel/at91sam9261ek/Makefile.in:

ifeq ($(strip $(BOARD_NAME)),at91sam9261ek)
LINUX_BOARD_NAME:=at91sam9261ek
...

And from at91sam9263ek_defconfig

BR2_TARGET_AT91BOOTSTRAP_BOARD="$(BOARD_NAME)"

But, I can't figure out where BOARD_NAME comes from or how it differs
from BR2_BOARD_NAME.  Can somebody point me towards a clue?
