There are 3 families of CPU core types that we support in the m68knommu
architecture branch. They are

. traditional 68000
. CPU32 (which is a 68020 core derivitive without MMU)

derivative ... and without bitfield instructions.

My spelling never was too good :-)
I'll fix up the comment and add mention of bitfields.


. ColdFire

It will be useful going forward to have a CONFIG_ option defined for
each type. We already have one for ColdFire (CONFIG_COLDFIRE), so add
for the other 2 families, CONFIG_M68000 and CONFIG_MCPU32.

I'm wondering whether it would help to have Kconfig symbols for the
instruction capabilities as well.
Then you have to document these capabilities in the kconfig definition only,
and can use single (e.g.) #ifdef CONFIG_CPU_HAS_BITFIELDS tests everywhere
else, instead of duplicating the logic at every #ifdef.

Yes, that sounds like a reasonable idea. I won't add them in this patch
though. I'll add it to the bitops.h merge patch - which is the only
one that would be effected/helped by a bitfield Kconfig option right
now.

Thanks
Greg
