Let's have Wolfgang's opinion on this, since this not aligned with
current
u-boot development strategy.
May be we can create a separate header file for tracking
(unsupported/tobe
supported) arm machine-types.
Actually this is for Albert to comment. He is the ARM custodian and has to live with the results.
Wolfgang, Marek Vasut, and I discussed this here [1]. To summarize, by declaring non-mainlined mach_types in the respective board config, an error will be thrown at compile time after mach-types.h is updated to include the mach_type.
The other idea is to have a separate file, say mach-types-local.h where all non-mainlined mach-types would be defined.
I will vote for this second approach so that it becomes independent change and anyone can update it in future.
Let's get Albert's opinion on this.
Regards.. Prafulla . .
Thoughts? I can do whichever.
thx,
Jason.
