Yes. a DP=1 for pandaboard is added in the next patch.
I wanted to separate adding the recipe and enabling it for pandaboard
(as I figured the latter might raise some controversy).
I can also imagine other machines can use this (I need to check if it
is good enough for kirkwood based hardware and I need some more
testing for that before I move to this version).
However, I wanted to make this available now, so others can also use it.

BTW we have plenty of recipes with a DP=-1:
grep DEFAULT_PREFERENCE */* | grep -- -1 | wc
    421    1263   23484
guess some of them are enabled for specific hw, but several of them
seem to be quite pointless.
E.g. for cups we have 6 recipes: cups_1.1.23.bb  cups_1.2.12.bb
cups_1.2.7.bb  cups_1.3.8.bb  cups_1.4.3.bb  cups_1.4.4.bb
The last three have DP -1, none is pinned or has a hw specific DP.
