linux-qoriq: why does t1040_64bit_smp_defconfig define CONFIG_ALTIVEC?

linux-qoriq: why does t1040_64bit_smp_defconfig define CONFIG_ALTIVEC?

[Bob Cochran]

Hi,

T1040 uses an E5500, and E5500 doesn't have ALTIVEC.

However, the 64-bit def config file (configs/t1040_64bit_smp_defconfig) 
in the FSL Linux tree pulled by linux-qoriq recipe has

CONFIG_ALTIVEC=y

I assume I should submit a patch to remove this, but please let me know 
if I should be setting other configs in its place.

I'll test it tomorrow if I can get some guidance overnight.

Thanks,

Bob

I just noticed that CONFIG_FMAN_V3L isn't set in the T1040 def config 
files (t1040_32bit_smp_defconfig  and t1040_64bit_smp_defconfig)

My RDB kernel image is obviously in need of a config patch considering 
this and that it's pulling in some T4240 integration errata (see 
previous email I sent on this list).

I hope to have a patch next week to get my RDB network running a little 
smoother.
