We want to at least separate L2/OCRAM ECC from the SDRAM ECC because 1) the SDRAM preparation can take almost 2 seconds on boot and some customers need a faster boot time. 2) the SDRAM has an ECC initialization dependency on the preloader which is outside the kernel. It is desirable to be able to turn the SDRAM on & off separately.Well, now that I asked and you gave valid reasons for the split, you should keep them split the way they are. But please do add that explanation to the commit message so that it is clear to people why there is a split.quoted
You bring up a good point about the L2 and OCRAM being combined though. If we do want granular control, maybe I should use a submenu? Or isn't that desirable either?Well, what do you think would be easier/faster for a user configuring? A separate menu where you have to do a couple of key presses just to enter it or simply a subtree in Kconfig with all the options together. I think the "depends" gives you that already... Ok, once you've worked in the suggested changes, you're good to go, at least for the EDAC bits. Let me know how you want to handle this, whether I should pick up the whole thing or I should ack the EDAC parts. This patchset should go together, in any case, and so I don't care whoever picks it up.
If it's okay, can you please pick up this series, once everything is cleaned up? I just checked to make sure that there aren't any merge conflicts in the DTS files in this series against DTS patches that I have queue up for 3.19, and there aren't. Thanks, Dinh
