Ah, yes it is _very ugly which was why I was trying everything else but
I can understand your reasoning with the current state of the driver.
Just to be clear. You want just the above defines in board-mx31ads.h and
either:
1. Common defines to be removed from board-mx31ads.c to board-mx31ads.h
_or_
2. Duplicate defines in both board-mx31ads.c and board-mx31ads.h.
I'm assuming that you want 1. (2. is too ugly and dangerous).

Right. I'll watch this in future too.
