I don't think it is a good idea to add lots of #ifdefs for another
board in some board specific file.

There are different  boards,  so  they  should  have  separate  board
specific  files. If you find larger parts of common code, please feel
free to factor this out.

As is, I don't want to accept this patch for the publich U-Boot tree.

Best regards,

which is the exact opposite.
