[...] FWIW, I've looked at this code and discussed it with Ryan. The first thing is that it adds too much stuff in uboot/uboot.mk and uboot/Config.in, so I've created a patch that moves platform-specific stuff into other .mk and Config.in files within boot/uboot/, on top of which I've changed Ryan's patch. It makes things more reasonable I believe. See: http://git.free-electrons.com/users/thomas-petazzoni/buildroot/log/?h=uboot-arch-spec However, I've asked Ryan to take some significant portions of his cover letter, and use that to extend the Config.in help text to explain how this thing can/should be used, and under what conditions. I guess Ryan will resubmit the set of 3 patches when he is done with this Config.in help text writing.
