Hm. I'm not exactly thrilled about this patch (not your fault).
Yes, it reduces a sizable amount of duplication. Yes, it reduces the
amount of consistency checking we have to do. Yes, it will probably
reduce the number of mismatch bugs each time someone adds a new board.
Still, the original reason I didn't want URLs and board names in the
same master table is that I personally think URLs are ugly and should
not be in flashrom at all. print_wiki.c allowed me to ignore that stuff
without having to sacrifice working on any board lists. I can just
pretend print_wiki doesn't exist and be happy. ;-)

I won't veto the patch for two reasons:
1. You create most board enables and add most supported boards nowadays,
so this is much more "your" turf than mine, and it should be in a state
that makes development easier for you.
2. Uwe created most of the printing (and IIRC all of the wiki) code, so
he will know if this patch is a good idea or not.

If Uwe acks this, go ahead.

Regards,
Carl-Daniel
