I'd like to see "google,peach" continue to be here but won't fight too
strongly if it's rejected.  The pit and pi boards are incredibly
similar to each other.  They have a 380 point difference in their
processor and a few minor peripheral differences, but not a lot else.

I could totally imagine some code somewhere wanting to know if this
board is compatible with "google,peach" just like you can imagine code
somewhere wanting to know if this is compatible with
"samsung,exynos5".

Potentially you could swap the order of "google,peach" and
"samsung,exynos5800" though...

I won't say that I care a whole lot, but I think that was what was
agreed upon the other day.  Specifically Tom Rini of U-Boot was
worried about the fact that U-Boot will read the memory node and
totally clobber it.  He thought there might be cases where someone
might _purposely_ not want U-Boot to do that.

...I would wonder what alternate bootloader you're imagining will
actually run on this board and not do this?


In any case, if people don't like it then we can get rid of it IMHO.
