Is there any plan to fix them? When? By whom?
(They include some old platform macros such as CONFIG_8xx. Is it worth refactoring? If so, who will do it? )
Besides, there are many 'TODO' marks. But it seems nothing has happened so far...
Now generic board is suppored in ARM, PPC, MIPS, Sandbox, ARC, x86.
Accoding to doc/README.generic-board, we are expecting the other architectures will support it before October. I think we should start to do something now.
If we keep going without any clean-up, I guess it will be messed up.
The code is trying to duplicate the old board init without changing/breaking anything. So the #ifdefs are trying to duplicate those in the old board init code.
Thanks. I was missing this. This verbatim dupulication makes it easy to switch to generic board, in most cases, just by adding CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD although run-test is strongly recommended.
Then, we can clean-up code after removing arch/*/lib/board.c (Maybe next year?)
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
