Machine name/id change request

Machine name/id change request

[Matt Sealey]

Hello,

Is it possible for us to change a machine name/id in the database and
future kernels?

We have two systems originally designed by Pegatron and registered
under their codenames, but for now retailing and marketed under the
"Efika MX" brand. We would like to change the id data for

id 2336, originally MX51_LANGE51 but changed to MX51_EFIKAMX (mx51_efikamx etc.)
id 2370, originally MX51_KUNLUN but changed to MX51_EFIKASB (mx51_efikasb etc.)

This just makes it far less confusing when people start looking at
kernel #if's referencing the platform. I believe there is an
MX51_LANGE52 in there too but we do not have any request to change
that at this time (and pretty much for the forseeable future).

I notice there is a directory suffix there (Directory suffix:
mx51) which is not current as of Freescale's MX51 BSP from April, or
mainline 2.6.35 as it has moved to mach-mx5. That probably doesn't
matter anyway.

I guess that's it. Have a fun day, all.

As they're not in mainline then we can.  Bear in mind that kernels
which contain this code using the old identifiers will break when
someone decides to download a new copy of the file after the change.

Updated.

Is Sean Hsieh still responsible for these?

I have some sincere doubts this will ever happen. No public kernel has
ever been released with these identifiers and what has been released,
we backdoor changed them to the above anyway.. it's just gotten to the
point that this is going to end up mainlined one way or the other, and
we'd prefer not to confuse people.

No, I guess the new responsible person would be me.

You can add my name there since I'll be submitting the board files.

Remind me to fix it up when you submit something to the patch system/
machine registry.  Neither Matt nor yourself currently appears in
the existing list of people...

Russell,

Sascha has now accepted patches to enable the machine (EFIKAMX) in his
imx tree. Could you please add me to the list as maintainer?

There are three Amit's registered for the website, none of them are you.
I'm not being difficult, I just see nothing has changed since my previous
mail, which you apparantly have misunderstood.

Please go to the machine registry, click on 'Add new machine' - that
will prompt to create an account.  I'll then be able to link the machines
to your account.

I did indeed misunderstand your previous email. I've created the
account now (amit.kucheria at linaro.org).

Thanks!
