Would it be better to use ARCH_MVEBU? IMHO, there will be more ARMv8 SoCs
from our EBU, do we plan to add one CONFIG_ARMADA_yyzz for each SoC?
Not for each SoC but for each family, yes. As we did for the other mvebu
SoC families.
We tend to use a little more general config strings for arm64 than we have
for arm32. I think just using ARCH_MVEBU is fine here, no need to list
the 3700 series separately.
OK, for the arm32 mvebu SoC, the CONFIG_ARMADA_ were barely used, and
CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU is mostly use as a "depends on" and do not force
anything.
The only annoying point was with the irqchip, but thanks to the last
series sent by Thomas irq-armada-370-xp.c won't be inconditionnaly built
if CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU is selected.
So OK I will use CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU.
Thanks,
Gregory
