Even if you rip out the "white" support, maybe it's still good to create the structure of a "global" […]
Ah, sorry, I think I misunderstood what you were saying before - I get what you mean now.
Yes, that sounds like a nice plan, agree that beaglebone-black/variants/white is weird! My only worry is that someone won't necessarily know which beaglebone is supported if they're looking at boards/ti/beaglebone for the first time. That said, I have some documentation in this patch train that makes it explicit that it's for the black so hopefully that's enough to make it clear.
I'll drop this patch so that it stays as is, with ti/beaglebone.
