So, like, the other day Guennadi Liakhovetski mumbled:
What's the _current_ trend with those 2 archs, specifically,respecting embedded boards, the make ARCH=powerpc ***_defconfig for a board under ppc "just should work" doesn't seem to hold and I didn't find any provisions for that. (I read in an earlier post it "should"). Are ppc platforms still supposed to migrate to under powerpc? I am not quite clear where to put all board-specific stuff then, in that post it was told "you almost don't need anything, just use device tree and a correct CPU support, and put your specific _drivers_ somewhere". How is it in reality?
The trend is still happening. Things should be migrated out of arch/ppc and into arch/powerpc. For example, I just introduced a new 86xx board port only under arch/powerpc. Please feel free to help migrate support into arch/powerpc! jdl
