Hi, Adding Santosh to Cc on this one. * Stefan Hengelein [off-list ref] [150225 09:13]:
During the research for my masters thesis i came across the OMAP4_ERRATA_I688 option and realized, it is never possible to enable this option. The a62a6e98 commit added the "&& !ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM" dependency to disable this option for multiplatforms. However, because of enclosing dependencies, this option isn't available for non-MULTIPLATFORM configurations either.
Yes there is no clean way currently to enable this errata for multiplatform.
CONFIG_OMAP4_ERRATA_I688 is defined in the menu "TI OMAP/AM/DM/DRA Family" which depends on ARCH_MULTI_V6 || ARCH_MULTI_V7. (in arch/arm/mach-omap2/Kconfig) ARCH_MULTI_V6 and ARCH_MULTI_V7 however are defined in the menu "Multiple platform selection" which depends on ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM (in arch/arm/Kconfig) Which is a contradiction. There are no selects on OMAP4_ERRATA_I688, which would ignore dependencies, either. The question is: Was disabling this option for non-MULTIPLATFORM configurations also intentional? i have added a minimal example of the problem.
From what I remember the plan was to try to come up with a
multiplatform friendly way of doing this errata. Santosh, any suggestions here? Should we just remove the code as it seems nobody has complained about it for a few years now? Regards, Tony
