Does this mean defconfigs?
This looks like it would cover defconfig files too, but the initial motivation is config fragments. See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20230606071850.270001-5-cla... for another example.
all fragments to live in their respective device directory in /board/..
Why do we want this? The patch should have a motivation.
I've asked a few people to look in to this because we have a lot of cases today of N _defconfig files where we could really instead have 1 _defconfig file and N config fragment files. But I do not want them living in the top level configs directory as that will get even more unmanageable.
OK I see, thank you. The patch still needs this motivation though.
What's not in this patch (and not an ask at this point) is figuring out how buildman could handle "foo_defconfig bar.config" as the required config target.
Indeed. Also, should they appear in the boards.cfg list?
