Isn't there another way? You're also adding a configuration option. This
means your configurer has to make a decision whether or not to enable
support for that board while this decision actually has no effect.
Apparently that support comes for free (I'm guessing once M528x support
is enabled, I haven't checked that). Wouldn't a comment do? Or adding a
line to some help text? 

In the mean time I suppose you're willing to fix this part of my patch
yourself (ie, I don't have to redo this again).
