What is the difference between ARCH_XXX MACH_XXX TARGET_XXX macros

What is the difference between ARCH_XXX MACH_XXX TARGET_XXX macros

[Tim Williams]

Hello, I am trying to port u-boot to a new board,

There are several macros, how to use them properly?

 CONFIG_ARCH_XXX
 CONFIG_MACH_XXX
 CONFIG_TARGET_XXX

for example, my board has:

  SoC: LS2K1000
  ISA: MIPS32r1, MIPS32r2, MIPS64r1, MIPS64r2
Board: UselessRouter or HelloRouter, TBD
  NIC: 4 1000Mbps NIC(No built in switcher)

thanks very much!

Regards,
Tim

Code that is generic to LS2K1000 but not your boards should use
CONFIG_SOC_xxx and everything board-specific should be
CONFIG_TARGET_xxx.  CONFIG_ARCH_xxx / CONFIG_MACH_xxx should get used
likely sparingly, but we are indeed inconsistent and could use
CONFIG_SOC_xxx in some of those cases.
