In order for me to create a new defconfig for an embedded platform, I have to turn *off* CHRP *and* PMAC support, and then turn on whatever platform I want. That's the point behind my patch. The default is on, so anyone creating a non-CHRP or non-PMAC platform has to do extra work. And the argument that embedded platforms aren't as important as the exalted CHRP is bollocks. All platforms should be treated equally. And like I said earlier, PMAC platforms aren't even being built any more, so it's ridiculous to consider that the default. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale
