I don't like this idea as it will pollute the namespace by a number of
uncontrolled auto-generated #defines, which may be a nightmare to
debug because you quickly forget where such definitions might be
coming from - after you realize that they are actually set because you
cannot find them in any board-related config or source file.
There are a number of board names that have an underscore embedded
which may or may not indicate such options. Also, such auto-generated
symbols may be wrong. For example "omap1610inn_cs_autoboot_config"
would auto-generate
CONFIG_OMAP1610INN
CONFIG_CS
CONFIG_AUTOBOOT
instead of the expected CONFIG_CS_AUTOBOOT

Agreed. Unfortunately I don't have a clever idea how to implement
this either.
