what does board flashing has to do with layer infrastructure ?
when creating a new layer all we should think that it should make it easy for end user
to use the ecosystem and reduce confusion. That also might mean that you may have different layers
for chips coming from  same SOC vendor but it is contextual, e.g. if you are using same
u-boot and kernel trees as rest of sunxi then you better align it in sunxi layer e.g.
