[U-Boot] Compiling u-boot (sunxi/next)

[U-Boot] Compiling u-boot (sunxi/next)

[Olliver Schinagl]

Hey all,

just working on a _defconfig for our board and noticed that u-boot fails 
to compile if my defconfig doesn't have:
# CONFIG_CMD_IMLS is not set

What supprised me is that it has to be in there as a comment to unset 
it. I would have imaged that it would be unset by default and only be 
available if set in the defconfig, or rather, how can commenting it in 
the defconfig unset it?

I've added the u-boot list to the CC, but afaik it's not an open list 
and my registrations have failed on a number of occasions ...

Not that it should fail to compile either way, here's the output:

That's how Kconfig works, an option is either set =m or =y or is a comment
saying "# FOO is not set", which is equivalent to the (nonexistent) =n
state.

If a value isn't present at all then it takes on its default value, as
specified in the Kconfig file (default default is off, "default y" makes it
y etc), as modified by select from or depends on other options.

I'm not sure about the actual build failure. It's probably just a bug in
either the code or the Kconfig, but I don't know what IMLS even is.

ah, well I knew that the 'non-existant' variable would take the default 
value, maybe I just assumed the default value should be unset :)

IMLS, IMage LiSt, but only for NOR, the NAND variant has some more 
letters appended :)
