Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] ARM: nommu: re-enable use of vexpress without ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM
Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 12:27:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1368530845-7415-3-git-send-email-jonathan.austin@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1368530845-7415-1-git-send-email-jonathan.austin@arm.com>

Since 617276307cd4c ("ARM: vexpress: convert to multi-platform") it has been
impossible to select ARCH_VEXPRESS without ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM.

ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM doesn't make sense for NOMMU targets, not least because
of the need to hard-code the memory map. However, it should still be
possible to run NOMMU kernels on top of the Versatile Express by selecting
it as the only platform.

This patch creates a shim ARCH_VEXPRESS_NOMMU config option in the 'choice'
for "ARM system type" to make this possible again.
