Ok, got it now. Yes, that makes sense.

I guess we can start doing the actual multiplatform enablement now,
which would be only for the DT-enabled boards -- all of Kconfig.non_dt
still has to depend on !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM but we can make at91
either be built standalone (with board files) or multiplatform and
still support all SAM9 and RM9200 SoCs but without board files.
