enable ARCH_MXS.

I had to add the following to my config:

CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V5=y
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V6_V7=n
CONFIG_ARCH_MULTI_V7=n

With these three lines "make oldconfig" seemed to no longer kill important config entries.

"make uImage" failed. I got asked to specify a "LOADADDR" so I created my image like this:

LOADADDR=0x40008000 make uImage

But the resulting kernel fails to boot. The error message makes sense. Maybe a bug in imx23.dtsi? In fact the serial port "duart: serial@80070000" does not have a "dma-names" property:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/imx23.dtsi#n496

But is this a blocker and can cause the kernel boot to stop?
