This then starts to differ from what is in the mainline u-boot
repository. Having different names for the same thing in different trees
will be pretty confusing for users and will mean merge conflicts on
every update, a cure worse than the disease I think.

Currently upstream only has Cubietruck(_FEL) but there is a pending PR
which adds: A13-OLinuXinoM, Cubieboard, Cubieboard2(_FEL) and
r7-tv-dongle. I believe Hans is planning a new batch as well once the
current PR is processed.

Upstream the boards.cfg doesn't seem to namespace devices in this way
BTW. I don't know what the feeling would be if such a patch were
proposed even if just for the sunxi devices.

Perhaps this will all go away anyway when upstream switches to Kconfig,
which looks likely to be in this release cycle.
