Yes, I've seen that patchset. Unfortunately it's still in the queue and is 
going through implementation iterations. Once it gets into OE-Core, I'd be 
happy to update my tune files with the corresponding ARMPKGARCH and 
DEFAULTTUNE changes. But I don't think that tune rework patchset should block 
new tune files, as they don't break anything and adhere to the existing 
framework. Thanks.

Nobody commented on last iteration (except of acks from khem). So I
don't plan to send another one.

Your new tune files wont work if that patchset is applied, that's why I
commented on them.

It was made clear that we were concentrating on the release and these
were something we'd come back to afterwards. I also made it very clear
that I'm opposed to something that is repeatedly getting proposed here.
Lets just say it is unlikely I will simply change my mind if people keep
sending it.

I'm trying to get to the point of reviewing the patches that need
attention and give more constructive feedback having cleared the less
problematic ones out the way and shortened the backlog but I'm not there
yet. Ideally I'd like to take a break entirely but sadly that simply
isn't going to happen :(. I'll try and get to these as soon as I can but
there is a substantial queue. 

I'd also point out I'm getting considerable "feedback" as soon as
anything goes into master that destabilises the build so when anything
does merge, fixing fallout is taking priority too.

Cheers,

Richard

I'm not complaining that it wasn't merged yet, just saying that it
should be considered for merging before adding more tune files to fix.

AFAIK You were against OPTDEFAULTTUNE and that's not used in last
iteration. Last iteration just defines different PKGARCH for different 
CCARGS as you said:

Yes that's why I'm reporting that fallout as soon as it's merged when
it's something I haven't noticed when patch was on ML. And I know that
you're often the one who fixes it in the end when commiter does not even
reply on those reports, thanks for doing that.

[PATCH 0/2] Add more tunes for new ARM processors Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7

[Denys Dmytriyenko]

[Temporarily add these patches to meta-ti]

The patchset adds 2 more standard tune files for the new ARM MPCore (multicore)
processors Cortex-A15 and Cortex-A7, as per:

http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a15.php
http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a7.php

This patchset was previously submitted to oe-core, but was not accepted (yet)
for the following reasons:

1. Richard is currently busy with the 1.3 release and wants to take some time
   off right after that.
2. Martin submitted a slight rework for the tune framework few days earlier,
   which is also not accepted yet, and that change will break old-style tune
   files.

Here's the corresponding discussion:
