That would make more sense to me. But it would even more crowd the include/configs
directory. A while ago I had proposed to change over to:
include/configs/<vendor>/<board>.h but that was rejected.

[Observation:]
But if we really head for linux style *config we would need a
<board>_defconfig individually for each variant...
But I don't think we are there anytime soon.
Many configs contain conditionals and *config does not handle
long (multiline) strings nicely...

Best Regards,
Reinhard
