Dear Dirk Behme,
In message 4A7F3B9A.2030007@googlemail.com you wrote:
Please do not add such scripting to the top level Makefile. Perform it in your board config file instead.
Not sure if this is 'standard' for at91, but I saw something similar in
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-arm.git;a=blobdiff;f=Makefile;h=c9d315ae...
Yes, I know. This has been accepted and even pretty usual style for a long time - too long, actually.
The Makefile has grown way too long. Sometimes it takes a long time until we learn a lesson. Now I want to get rid of most of such longish scripting in the Makefile, and I started rejecting all patches that add such stuff.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
