Possibly if we just had a symlink
configs/omap_5430evm/base/main.conf -->
arch/arm/configs/omap_5430evm_defconfig
but then that defconfig has some non board specific stuff, like EXT
file-systems configured. And Andrey's Android branch would have TI's
Android topics, so that 'base' defconfig file would also gain TI's
Android flavourings. (Neither of these issues might be a problem in
practice.)
