Thanks, I'll take a peek

Right

No, I have SATA off, it is being selected unconditionally:

config PHY_MVEBU_SATA
        def_bool y
        depends on ARCH_KIRKWOOD || ARCH_DOVE || MACH_KIRKWOOD
        depends on OF
        select GENERIC_PHY

Does it need 'depends on ATA'?

Sure, when your patchset is merged I can look at the QUIRKS setting
for mvebu

So this is happening because mvebu-soc-id.c is being unconditionally
compiled, even though it is not needed on anything except
armada-370-xp ?

Agree

Thanks

EMBEDDED is just a master option to expose KConfig choices that normal
people wouldn't want to mess with (eg the ability to disable
REGULATOR). It seems to have fallen out of favor these days I guess,
maybe EXPERT is the way to go now?
