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?
Thanks
Guennadi

So, like, the other day Guennadi Liakhovetski mumbled:

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!
