That said, I'm not really sure where Eric's headed by including somewhat arbitrary PCIe devices. I'm not aware that these are commonly used and could begin a slow march to allyesconfig. Do other users really want to include support for PCIe 8250's, or is this just something important for a project of yours? I'm also hesitant to say that bringing in our defconfig is crucial. There are important bits, like the inclusion of NAPI for ethernet and single-touch for various multi-touch controllers, but there's also likely some cruft that we pulled in from other Freescale designs and that isn't useful in general. Here's a good case in point: https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6/blob/boundary-imx_3.0.35_1.1.1/arch/arm/configs/nitrogen6x_defconfig#L136 We're including a light sensor that isn't present on our boards. We're also including some PCIe drivers for things we happen to be working on: https://github.com/boundarydevices/linux-imx6/commit/b6e4be8783d66e288bda17d18281bdcb2d95be62 My sense is that we all have particular needs for the kernel configuration, and that one-size really doesn't fit all. We'll be re-basing our kernel on the new 4.0.0 release from Freescale very soon. For my part, I'll try to clean up our defconfig in the process. https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-94809 Regards, Eric
