Thanks a lot for your patch series! Always great to see direct
involvement from Andes on supporting Andes platforms.

However I am not sure we really want to have two configurations for the
AE350, one with OP-TEE, one without. If we start going down this route
for each and every platform, we will have an explosion of the number of
configurations.

So you should really decide what is the "standard" way of using Linux
on AE350, and that is what the Buildroot defconfig should use. We
cannot have defconfig for every possible use-case/scenario.

So if the OP-TEE enabled build is the "future" in terms of how AE350
will be running a Linux kernel, then this should be supported directly
into the existing AE350 configuration.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
