Add specific model numbers does not seem necessary because they are not
needed to be specified in the device tree for compatible purposes for
the kernel to work. Plus, the list of model numbers will continue to
grow over time and compatible strings would need to be added to the
kernel for no apparent reason?

Thanks - removed specific boards from file and moved the cygnus.txt file
to devicetree/bindings/arm/bcm/cygnus.txt in next version. This seems
to be like the appropriate place to put this document. We will need to
add back in board specific bindings when ALSA support is added. But
that will be a later commit to deal with.
