Thanks for the patch.  The change looks almost good to me.
See some comments below.

In such a case, it'd be better to share the same function.
Either check spec->board_config to choose the bit to change, or add
some new fields in struct sigmtael_spec.

No need to add you name here and there unless it's really needed :)
All changes are recorded via git properly, thus users can see easily
who changed what.

The number "2" doesn't look cute... 

Could you fix and repost the patch?
