Had to read this twice, before I realized this is different from BCM63XX. As we already have drivers/char/hw_random/Kconfig: ARCH_BCM_63XX || BCM63XX || BMIPS_GENERIC || COMPILE_TEST drivers/spi/Kconfig: depends on BCM63XX || BMIPS_GENERIC || ARCH_BCM_63XX || COMPILE_TEST and drivers/tty/serial/Kconfig would be a third case, would it make sense to unify BCM63XX and ARCH_BCM_63XX into a single symbol? We already share several ARCH_* symbols between arm and arm64, and I expect more will be shared with riscv in the future (e.g. ARCH_RENESAS). Or are MIPS BCM63xx and ARM BCM63xx too dissimilar?

In hindsight, I could have used BCM63XX, however back then a number of drivers that depended on BCM63XX were either not applicable, or not able to build with an ARM-based kernel. For consistency with the other platforms defined in arch/arm/mach-bcm/Kconfig, I went with ARCH_BCM6_63XX to denote the difference. > > Or are MIPS BCM63xx and ARM BCM63xx too dissimilar? The chips are an incremental update in a number of ways and did take a number of the "legacy" cores present in previous chips in the UBUS bus bridge, such as UART, GPIO, timer, watchdog, USB device controller, but also added new ones in the AXI bus. Changing the symbol names could be done, but it feels like it could be some unnecessary churn now, no? -- Florian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
