Re: ppc4xx simple vs SoC's

However, the entry for ppc44x_simple doesn't select any of these,
meaning for example, AFAIK, that you don't get EMAC4 etc... I'm
surprised things work at all !

What am I missing ?

CONFIG_PPC44x_SIMPLE is selected by the board Kconfig values, which
also select all of the SoC Kconfig options they need as well.
ppc44x_simple started as a way to basically avoid duplicating a bunch
of board.c files, but it's still "driven" from the board options.

So hopefully that explains how things are working today.  The question
now is whether you would like something different?

Ok, just getting my head around that stuff, I haven't really looked
since you and Grant I believe came up with the scheme :-) (Was wondering
what to do for currituck, but for now we'll keep it a separate board, at
least until I can decide how to deal with the interrupt quirk).

I just hadn't realized that while we had ppc4xx_simple, we still had
board Kconfig's to enable it.
