And we could then start trimming the table we do have as well, to reclaim space?
In general, yes, but we'd also need to consume a bit more space with the additional auto-detection logic.
Maybe part one of the series is backport that logic, part two is remove all the easy to remove tables? Or at least a number of them so the series is a wash and then a targeted series of drop-an-entry and cc the person that added it so they can run-time verify it's still fine?
Sounds like a plan to me and I'm willing to work on that. Though, I think we'll inevitably end up with increasing the resulting image sizes a bit, but that might be an acceptable trade-off for making supporting more SPI chips and more new boards much easier in the future.
Yeah, this is where we need to go overall long term if nothing else.
I agree, it would make the things a bit easier. I'll see to start working on it next week.
Thanks!
