Well, it may make sense to use common defconfig files for boards of the same breed (different configurations of one board family from one vendor for example). But please note that TQM5200, CM5200 and Motion-PRO are boards from 3 different vendors, used by different projects with differing needs. IMO it makes very much sense to provide 3 separate default configurations that match the specific requirements of each of these boards. In this case I vote for separate defconfig files, please.
