Clearly the last patch that removes the board files depends on
all the previous patches, but I assume that the other ones
are all independent.

We don't do complete conversions from boardfiles to DT that often
any more, but in the past we tended to do this through a cross-
subsystem branch in the soc tree, which helps do it more quickly
and is less work for Nikita. In this case, I would make it a
separate top-level branch in the soc tree.

If anyone strongly feels that the patches should go through
the subsystem trees here, we'll take the longer path and
do the changes separately, with the boardfile removal
coming a release later.
