Thinking about it, I turned it not into a rule, but into a Lemma from
the 10 rules:

  Lemmas from the golden rules
  
  1. Generic Code is Good Code
  
  New code shall be as generic as possible and added to the U-Boot
  abstraction hierarchy as high as possible. As few code as possible shall
  be added in board directories as people usually do not expect re-usable
  code there. Thus peripheral drivers should be put below "drivers" even
  if they start out supporting only one specific configuration. Note that
  it is not a requirement for such a first instance to be generic as
  genericity generally cannot be extrapolated from a single data point.
  
Feel free to amend / modify that.

Cheers
  Detlev
