define bsp-post-link
    $(default-bsp-post-link)
    $(OBJCOPY) -O binary $@ $(basename $@)$(DOWNEXT)
endef

can this be moved to some common cfg file somehow?

I have observed that the arm bsps are using .inc files and importing them
from the .cfg files.  Is there any reason that they're organized like that,
instead
of directly writing it in the .cfg files ?
