We can easily do both. So no worries, I can easily add SoC capabilites support at some point. > Am 25.12.19 um 13:53 schrieb Adam Ford: > > On Wed, Dec 25, 2019 at 6:05 AM André Hentschel <nerv@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> And then include am3703.dtsi in omap36xx.dtsi before sgx support? > > I can see value in having a 3703 base and including that in the 36xx > > with SGX and DSP nodes, but why not jus make SGX disabled by default. > > Those who want/need it can enable it on a per-board basis. > >> Or would it be better to have sgx support in a separate dtsi? > > > > I am not sure how much DSP stuff is in there, but the DM3730 is the > > AM3703 + DSP and 3D. > > For clarification this reduced table should help: > DM3730 | DM3725 | AM3715 | AM3703 > DSP X | X | | > SGX X | | X | > > Where X is "supported" And let's also add minimal dm3725.dtsi, am3715.dtsi and am3703.dtsi to make things simple. The device tree is supposed to describe the hardware, and in most cases the SoC version is fixed and need no dynamic detection. André, can you please add those three dtsi files since you have at least one test case? :) Regards, Tony
