You are only making one target.

This seems to have board specific information ..

and so is this (by transitivity).

Is there some reason they should not all be merged into this one 
platform file?

I can understand wanting the dcr fixups as a library, but lets wait to 
do the file splits until there are actually users.  Its also easier to 
see what's going to called when all the platform ops are filled in at 
one spot, not spread over multiple files.
