Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] linux: adjust BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME help text
Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2020 23:45:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200402214549.2977215-2-thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200402214549.2977215-1-thomas.petazzoni@bootlin.com>
The help text of BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_IMAGE_NAME is somewhat incomplete,
in the sense that it assumes just a filename can be passed, while it
can be a relative path, such as 'compressed/vmlinux.bin.z'. So make it
clear that such paths are relative to arch/ARCH/boot/.
Also, drop the part about this being only useful for Xtensa as this is
not true: on MIPS it might be needed as well for some specific image
types.
