I am trying to support a new ARM64 SoC and want to share some DTSI files between arch/arm/boot/dts and arch/arm64/boot/dts. I think Ian's "dtb: Create a common home for cross-architecture dtsi files" is under way (or rejected?). I can live with the symbolic link. Is it OK (at least for now)? -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
