That removes that option then, sadly.
Well, we can still require it, so long as an error is produced if the property is needed but does not exist.
"We" who? I don't feel like we'll have a lot of traction with linux kernel folks in requiring /memory to be added to the dts files on however many platforms don't have it today because I'm going to guess it's added at run time, possibly by us, with the correct size and we'd be asking for statically adding things half-wrong like a lot of platforms used to do (and in turn rely on U-Boot to correct the size).
Hmm yes of course, the firmware is supposed to add these properties...that's how it gets in there. So we need to stick with CFG (and perhaps the RAM-size prober) for now.
Coming back to this patch, can we apply it? It provides a way to find out the value of these CFG options, which otherwise involves chasing around header files.
No, because it implies that there's a consistent way to know what a given CFG value will be when there is not. There is no equivalent header to include like for CONFIG symbols to know that you got them. You're likely better off trying out "ripgrep" which I have found to be much faster than "git grep".
Hmm it is really hard to know which files to grep!
It's super easy with ripgrep: $ rg -g *.h CFG_SYS_SDRAM_SIZE
Could we require that config.h includes all the CFG values? I'm just trying to find a way to bring a bit more order to this area.
Well, some of them could perhaps be Kconfig symbols instead, it just got too tedious to untangle some of them. For others (not CFG_SYS_SDRAM_SIZE/BASE, sadly) it goes back to my idea about seeing what can be pulled at build time from the default device tree.
