[PATCH 2/2] mach-spear: fixed spear1340.c file

From: Nick Krause <hidden>
Date: 2014-07-03 20:37:19
Also in: lkml

Very well then I will read the documentation on Kconfig in order to
understand that and fix up my patches for that.
On the other hand I will send a email before the patches to tell in
what order to apply them.
Cheers Nick

This patch, together with patch 1/2, basically moves a chunk of code
into a separate file, didn't it? If so, why did you split that move in
two patches?
Yes it is and I did it in two patches in order to be more readable.
It makes it harder to understand the change (I had to _guess_ it was a
move). Moreover, depending on the order that these two patches would be
merged, we could end up with a chunk of code being either included twice
or not included at all, in some range of commits. Neither would be good.

And how does all this work without any changes to a Makefile?
Furthermore I don't known Kconfig well enough to do the Makefile
for the file I created.
Then I think you should, well, study the kernel build system before
submitting a change like this. And you can also ask a question or two to
get things going. (Not sure what the relevant list would be.)
