A lot of the devices you have in your new board files actually
have DT bindings already or have patches that got posted.
I think it makes more sense for mach-dove to go all the way
from the start:
* Add full .dts files for the two boards that are already supported
in mainline, and for the board you are testing with
* Add your board-dt.c contents directly to common.c
* Have no other board-* files at all, but instead work on adding
the missing bindings.
I don't think there is much value in duplicating the two exisitng
board files like your patch does. Adding support for a new mach-dove
board should be doable without such a file in 3.6.
