When the vendor common libraries exists, then board should be able to
reference headers located there, rather than having to do weird logic
such as '#include "../common/xyz.h"'.

Arrgh.. Apologies on the diffstat messup, but anyways, the patch does
apply, and will wait to repost in case of further comments.

I could, OR i could even do ../common/xyz.h (which is what current
board files do)

I agree as well. but the files are built without explicit board level
Makefile rules, but the root Makefile(which makes this happen) does
not ensure the headers are made available - that sounds contradictory.

Surprisingly larger set that what I expected:
$ git branch -v|grep "^*"
* master c3c016cf7536 sf: Add SPI NOR protection mechanism
$ find board/ -iname "common"|wc -l
19
$ git grep "#include \"../common" board/|wc -l
141
