Subject: [PATCH] arm: use include/gen for mach-types.h
Date: Sat, 18 Apr 2009 20:17:14 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090418181714.GA25786@uranus.ravnborg.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090418101444.GA9768@flint.arm.linux.org.uk>

mach-types.h is a generated file.
As we no longer has a .gitignore file in asm-arm the risk
that somebody by accident commit mach-types.h is big.

Avoid this by the introduction of include/gen/ to
hold this (and soon other) generated files.

The patch includes two small cleanups to arch/arm/Makefile.
1) delete stale comment
2) combine two targets in one line and drop unused prerequisite

The idea to introduce include/gen/ is originally from Al Viro.

Hi Russell.
This patch is _not_ tested - as I have yet to get the
arm toolchain operational.
But it looks trivial correct.

Please consider applying.

	Sam
