We already have that for RPi3, but it's a bit hacky in that you have to include files from one arch to the other. What I'd like to see ideally is no dependency on $ARCH to build dts files. You can't build dts files for an arch without a cross-compiler installed which is an artificial dependency. The dtb should be independent of whether you're building for 32 or 64 bit. There's the other aspect of being able to do armv8 32-bit builds as there's no explicit support for v8 in arch/arm/. But that's not a DT issue. > And next topic is discuss criteria for adding new DTS board files to > kernel for supporting custom boards especially for arm32 which can end > up with a lot of dts files in this folder. We really should move the arm32 files into subdirs for each SoC vendor IMO, but I think armsoc maintainers have been against that churn. > If make sense to permit only boards with something new or just enable > reference boards to go in. The board dts files are generally pretty minimal. What's the issue here? Just lots of files in arch/arm/boot/dts?
