Subject: [PATCH] ARM: errata: Remove SMP dependency for erratum 751472
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:12:43 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1322586763-12791-1-git-send-email-dave.martin@linaro.org> (raw)

Activation conditions for a workaround should not be encoded in the
workaround's direct dependencies if this makes otherwise reasonable
configuration choices impossible.

This patches uses the SMP/UP patching facilities instead to compile
out the workaround if the configuration means that it is definitely
not needed.

This means that configs for buggy silicon can simply select
ARM_ERRATA_751472, without preventing a UP kernel from being built
or duplicatiing knowledge about when to activate the workaround.
This seems the correct why to do things, because the erratum is a
property of the silicon, irrespective of what the kernel config
happens to be.
