Defconfig update for LPC32xx

Defconfig update for LPC32xx

[Roland Stigge]

Hi,

I'm planning to update arch/arm/configs/lpc32xx_defconfig, adjusting to
device tree and new driver options.

Now I wonder if I should (1) just add drivers which are used on the
reference machine (PHYTEC LPC3250 board) or (2) additionally add all
drivers that I have seen together with LPC32xx on other boards also,
which would demonstrate that the same binary kernel runs on all LPC32xx
machines, but increasing kernel size a bit.

I would prefer option (2) but first want to ask for advice.

Thanks in advance,

Roland

I think either way is fine, this is one of the things I would completely
leave to you as the platform maintainer.

If you know that other machines are working with the same defconfig,
it would be helpful to also have their .dts files in the kernel source
for reference, but not mandatory.
