Erm, I don't believe these have been added since you last complained.
I don't see how they became a non-issue and are now a problem.  Please
double-check them.

Some of these are waiting to be dug out of my copy of the Configure.help
file and forwarded to Linus.

The only thing I'm doing at the moment is forwarding the stuff that doesn't
touch ARM specific files; Configure.help is a generic file, so it doesn't
get sent as often, and will always take longer (and therefore be out of
date).

Private symbol.  My error; it doesn't need help.

I know that the ARM 922 symbols came in during the last update; I remember 
having to add them to the rulebase.  I think ARCH_SHARK didn't show up before
this because I had it marked as dead (it got revived recently and I didn't
catch that for a while.

Here is the revised list:

ARM:

ARCH_ADIFCC
ARCH_CAMELOT
ARCH_CLPS7500
ARCH_CO285
ARCH_FOOTBRIDGE
ARCH_IOP310
ARCH_SA1100
ARCH_SHARK
CPU_ARM922_CPU_IDLE
CPU_ARM922_D_CACHE_ON
CPU_ARM922_I_CACHE_ON
CPU_ARM922_WRITETHROUGH
DEBUG_LL_SER3
DEBUG_WAITQ
H3600_SLEEVE
IOP310_AAU
IOP310_DMA
IOP310_MU
IOP310_PMON
SA1100_H3100
SA1100_H3800
SA1100_PT_SYSTEM3
SA1100_SHANNON
SA1100_USB
SA1100_USB_CHAR
SA1100_USB_NETLINK

Non-ARM:

USB_EHCI_HCD

Again, this one is described in 2.5.2-pre7 and later kernels.

You're right.  Thanks.  Found it.

Hmm - is there anything ARM922 specific about these - i.e. is there a
reason that we shouldn't get rid of them and have some architecture
independent symbols CPU_D_CACHE_ON, CPU_I_CACHE_ON and
CPU_CACHE_WRITETHROUGH (and more to your taste) and then architectures
can use the ones which apply to them.

Doesn't seem to be a point in having dupes.

I agree. I think there are now no fewer than four parallel sets of these.

You might want to state which kernel version you are referring to.

> USB_EHCI_HCD
> USB_SERIAL_IPAQ
> USB_SERIAL_KLSI
> USB_STV680
> USB_VICAM

All of these are present in 2.5.2-pre7, 2 kernel versions ago :)

thanks,

I've got entries for three of these now.  I'll post a revised list shortly.

I'm keeping Configure.help up to date with respect to both the 2.5
and 2.4 branches.
