Ok. For the older platforms that have a lot of non-DT board files, it makes
sense to have a separate board-generic.c file.

I mean the old version, not the new one. If you use MACHINE_START,
you cannot access the device tree data from the boot loader, which
means that none of the device drivers find their devices.

I also just noticed that you ahve both the .atag_offset and the .dt_compat
field set here, which is a bit strange as the dt_compat field was previously
unused. Now, the .atag_offset field is unused, so you should remove that.
