[U-Boot] Location of headers for IP blocks

[U-Boot] Location of headers for IP blocks

[Scott McNutt]

Hi All,

When an IP block can be shared among several different
architectures, where should the _header_ files be located?

Examples of such blocks would be OpenCores peripherals,
Altera peripherals, etc.

Some peripherals may not need to export any interfaces,
so no header file is necessary. But this certainly is not
the case for all peripherals.

Any precedents, comments, suggestions?


Regards,

Linux is always a good precedent, so checking there should give us a
clue.

Apart from that I'd go for include/device-type/...   Names of
manufacturers change _way_ too often :)
