It seems to only contains board infos (mac addresses), but if there are 
other use cases, that can indeed be dropped.

We need to add a label to be able to reference it for the eeprom 
vcc-supply, but we'll have to also reference it for other devices (e.g.  
emmc, wifi, phys, etc... It tried to choose a common name, ie the right 
most one on the schematics. Another option could be to call it buck3, 
but other name suggestions are welcome.
