I don't think you need per-board config options. The main option
above should be enough.
This is not a per-board config option. This is actually a per-SoC
uArchtecture selection. More major uArchectures will be added to the
IPROC. Will Change comment to "Support Broadcom Cygnus SoC"
Ok, sounds fine, but remove ARCH_BCM_IPROC then. There should be
no need for a three-level deep hierarchy (BCM -> IPROC -> CYGNUS)
I do not need a 3-deep hierarchy, I need a 2-deep hierarchy for IPROC
and CYGNUS (and future SoCs that have IPROC Architecture in common). I
can move IPROC out of the mach-bcm directory if you like a create a new
directory? But it looks like the purpose of mach-bcm is to consolidate
all Broadcom chipsets in it?
Yes, better leave it all in mach-bcm. You really shouldn't need much
code at all that is soc specific, so adding new directories is not
encouraged. We have some platforms that need no code at all, and on
arm64 that is required.
Isn't Northstar also IPROC? That one didn't seem to need the symbol.
Could you make ARCH_BCM_IPROC a silent symbol that is just selected
by each SoC family specific symbol?
It looks like I will also be able to add Northstar under the
ARCH_BCM_IPROC. This will be good momentum to cleaning up and
consolidate support going forward.
I will change the Kconfig such that ARCH_BCM_5301X selects ARCH_BCM_IPROC.
Thanks.
