Dear Peter Tyser,
In message 1236211122.27449.8.camel@localhost.localdomain you wrote:
I moved a chunk of code below the "include $(TOPDIR)/config.mk". The config.mk includes the include/autoconf.mk file which is needed for conditional compilation. I assumed it was necessary to include config.mk before referencing CONFIG_XXX values in the Makefile, so the change was intentional. Maybe there's some "make magic" such that the the order of the inclusion of config.mk doesn't matter, but I thought this was more logical even if it wasn't absolutely necessary.
Then document this (in the commit message), please.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

Many companies that have made themselves dependent on [the equipment
of a certain major manufacturer] (and in doing so have sold their
soul to the devil) will collapse under the sheer weight of the un-
mastered complexity of their data processing systems.
