We have something like this for the Pandaboards models. But
e.g. the i.MX Udoo Neo stuff which just differs in what is populated
does not have this. So I do not see a clear pattern. It could be useful
for userspace to store some board-specific configurations which might be
the same for a family of boards. So if people shout out loud that these
are needs, lets kep them.
