So far they are similar, but as more code and features are added in,
they are going to be different. We had registered different mach id to
distinguish these two boards.

Code for two (or more) different machines can be shared in the same file. See 
for example the code in arch/arm/mach-at91/board-stamp9g20.c which supports 
both taskit PortuxG20 and taskit Stamp9G20, and 
arch/arm/mach-at91/board-pcontrol-g20.c which is reusing code from these 
boards for a third board (PControl G20).

We should avoid code duplication as much as possible, IMO.

SMD and LOCO are newly developed boards of i.MX53. LOCO means "low cost",
which is supposed to be widespread soon.

These two patches seem almost identical. Can't both board support code share
the same file?
