Yes, there is a lot of such mess already around, but we have learned
our lessen and will not add any more of it.

Use "@$(MKCONFIG) -t" like other boards do.

This is no reason to add another file - just adjust the parameters as
needed.

NAK. Please factor out common parts, eventually even into a separate
header file like some boards / board families / vendors do. Then
reduce the remaining #ifdef'fery to the needed minimum.
