Hello all,

so we will end with a nice tree of hopefully many
board/<manufacturer>/<boardname> folders containig special settings for
each board, most likely at least a kernel config file. I don't expect
that too many boards will do without other settings but those in
buildroot's defconfig. And we will have many <boardname>_defconfig files
in the configs folder.

Wouldn't it make more sense to move buildroot's <boardname>_defconfig
files to the respective board folder, so that everything would be
together in one place?

Just my 2 cents

Stephan
