That (CONFIG_PXA27x) select is needed because without it the arm cpu architecture is not selected, ie. CONFIG_CPU_XSCALE is not set. And this in turn is needed to choose the basic arm operations like TLB handling, cache handling, etc ... You cannot compile a single platform kernel without this. As a poor excuse, I hadn't seen this because this resulted from a poor merge resolution which brought in both "select PXA27x" and "select CPU_PXA27x". > In https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/30/578 I proposed a patch that emits a > warning in cases like this.

Ah, and yes I'll send an update patch to remove the "select CPU_PXA27x", thanks for noticing this. Cheers. -- Robert
