OK. I will fold the patch 2 into this one.

For this case, using '-M -C' or not would generate the same patch.

I thought it would be more obvious for the board support if we have a separate

configuration if we have. Yes, it does seem a bit redundant. If you prefer I
can drop these boards options.

How about "CORENET Generic"?
BTW with these changes the file name "corenet_ds.c" seems not accurate anymore?
How about change it to "corenet_generic.c"?
