The defconfigs are really just for kernel developers. We expect users to define their own Kconfigs for their own needs. If using the Goldfish code really is what we all want to do (see below), then the kernel patch that should go in right away -- which also has no dependence on what QEMU does -- would be the first patch of this series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-riscv/20190925063706.56175-2-anup.patel@wdc.com/ And that should go in via whoever is maintaining the Goldfish driver, not the RISC-V tree. (It looks like drivers/platform/goldfish is completely unmaintained - a red flag! - so probably someone needs to persuade Greg or Andrew to take it.) Incidentally, just looking at drivers/platform/goldfish, that driver seems to be some sort of Google-specific RPC driver. Are you all really sure you want to enable that just for an RTC? Seems like overkill - there are much simpler RTCs out there. - Paul _______________________________________________ linux-riscv mailing list linux-riscv@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-riscv
