Does it make sense at all to disable CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE? If not, I suggest to remove it.Eeh? Do you understand what CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE is and what effect it has? When CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE is enabled, we ignore the command line passed in from the boot loader and always use the built-in command line. When CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE is disabled, we will use the boot loader supplied command line if present. "Does it make sense at all to disable CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE" so, if you always have it enabled, you can never pass in a command line from a boot loader. That's an absolutely idiotic idea. _Most_ of us want to pass in command lines from the boot loader so we can configure things.
ah, I thought the effect of CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE would be its inverse. And ok, this is probably about broken boot loaders that I'm just not used to.
Please, if you don't understand, ask questions rather than making completely misleading review comments which may confuse patch submitters.
IMHO "Does it make sense at all to disable CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE?" is a question, isn't it? Best regards Uwe -- Pengutronix e.K. | Uwe Kleine-K?nig | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |
