I feel that having these settings in devicetree.cb is the right way<tm>,
but weak functions could be an excellent step in that direction!

Weak functions would add a bit of structure currently missing when
stuff is done directly in mainboard_init().

It's also much smaller changes to create the overrides than it is to
evolve the internal devicetree API.

I like it.
