Thanks, this does seem to be a bit of a mess. Sorry about that. My feeling is that it would be better to change f879fc32a to use ARCH_SHMOBILE as ARCH_RENESAS does not exist in v4.1. One slight risk in this approach is that ARCH_SHMOBILE covers some (older) SH SoCs as well as (newer) ARM and arm64 based SoCs (Renesas arm64 based SoCs are not present in v4.1) whereas ARCH_RENESAS (in kernels that it exists) only covers ARM and arm64 based SoCs. So the coverage of ARCH_SHMOBILE is broader. But I don't think that should be a problem as that is already the dependency being used in v4.1. A quick compile test using ecovec24_defconfig + USB_XHCI_HCD + USB_XHCI_RCAR indicates that the driver compiles on that platform. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
