This matches IMHO what we have already tried to do with most of
Frescale's i.MXes, putting general code and setting in the arch/cpu/ (or
in the imx_common for MX5 and MX6), but letting the board code to write
the board specific part.

Some mix seems to me a goog compromise between flexibility and common code.
