Hello,
Since I've been supporting a u-boot for the Renesas RZ/A1 SoC for a while now, I thought I'd start upstreaming the drivers/patches I've acquired over the years.
But, where should the core files and Kconfig go?
The RZ/A1 series has a Cortex-A9.
At first, I had made a directory under arch/arm/cpu/armv7/
But, now I see things are moving under arch/arm/mach-xxxx.
There is a arch/arm/mach-rmobile directory that has the Renesas R-Car devices. But while the RZ/A1 uses some of the same HW IP blocks, for the most part it's a different product line.
So, Where should I put my RZ/A1 (and future RZ/A devices, or future RZ/N devices)?
Keep all Renesas parts together like we do in the kernel (arm/mach-shmobile)?
u-boot/arch/arm/mach-rmobile
I would vote for renaming and matching the kernel here and using mach-shmobile. Thanks!
