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

There are multiple options of implementation, the current strategy
expects that:
a) Vendor boards that need generic files will define build in:
	board/$(VENDOR)/common
b) Vendor boards that expose generic functions from (a) for usage
from other board specific files will provide these headers in:
	board/$(VENDOR)/common/include/board-common
c) Vendor board files that need these function services will refer
	#include <board-common/xyz.h>
	Where, xyz.h is an example header exposing generic vendor common
	functions.
