I think i should only leave tinker board here.
We have a lot of boards which are not open to the public,  it's not 
suitable  to push them to the community.

: ) That's the reason why we try to push patches to here, we want that 
"meta-rockchip" can
build between vendor old kernel/new kernel/old u-boot/new u-boot and 
mainline kernel/u-boot
  well.  Community people might help develop mainline things.

I added rk-linux.inc because i need a place to set up verndor-BSP 
default settings.
I want that the user can choose various combinations by change the 
include file in machine file.
e.g:
     rk-linux.inc for linux-rockchip 4.4 + u-boot-rockchip-nex-dev
     rk-linux.inc + rk-uboot.inc for linux-rockchip + u-boot-rockchip

     rk-linux.inc for linux-mainline + u-boot-mainline

BTW, which name you think is better?
