Some platforms which the kernel runs on are not a 'board' but a set of
boards: a motherboard and a separate CPU card. So to call these a
'board' is wrong too.
Welcome to the problem: there is not one single term which satisfies
everyone. The solution: a compromise.
The compromise that has been chosen for the ARM kernel is to call this
stuff 'machines' or 'platforms' - and the exynos stuff has decided to
call it 'machines'. (Some people have decided to use 'board' in their
directories, which is fine _provided_ there is consistency within that
directory.)
That's actually the _most_ important thing: consistency. So if a
maintainer has decided to use one way in their directory, that's the
way which rules for that directory. So, please, get over it - and
don't start a brand new naming scheme in a directory just because you
don't agree with the maintainers opinion.
So, please name the board mach-trats.c as requested by Kukjin (who is
the maintainer for exynos.)
