The following commit has been merged into the x86/cpu branch of tip: Commit-ID: ca5955dd5f08727605723b60767fbf2cc3d54046 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/ca5955dd5f08727605723b60767fbf2cc3d54046 Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 22:37:12 +01:00 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Thu, 27 Feb 2025 11:22:07 +01:00 x86/cpu: Document CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MID as 64-bit-only The X86_INTEL_MID code was originally introduced for the 32-bit Moorestown/Medfield/Clovertrail platform, later the 64-bit Merrifield/Moorefield variants were added, but the final Morganfield 14nm platform was canceled before it hit the market. To help users understand what the option actually refers to, update the help text, and add a dependency on 64-bit kernels. Ferry confirmed that all the hardware can run 64-bit kernels these days, but is still testing 32-bit kernels on the Intel Edison board, so this remains possible, but is guarded by a CONFIG_EXPERT dependency now, to gently push remaining users towards using CONFIG_64BIT.
