Well, the good news is that I'm down to a small board support file
for the Dove Cubox now - but the bad news is, that there's still a
board support file necessary to support everything the Dove SoC has
to offer.

Even for a DT based Dove Cubox, I'm still using mach-dove, but it
may be possible to drop most of mach-dove now.  Without spending a
lot of time digging through it, it's impossible to really know.
