It seems like a lot of the omap3 boards share common config options. What do you think about consolidating the common options to a sub config file ?
Seems a good idea; only if we are sure that the next board doesn't break the current list of common configs. Else, we would be having patches to move config options back to board specific files.
Does Wolfgang have a basic opinion about sub-configs for configuration stuff common for similar boards?
We already have some similar common config files. Take a look for example at the AMCC config header:
include/configs/amcc-common.h
I vote for collecting "common config files" in a subdir:
include/configs/common
for example: include/configs/common/mpc83xx.h
collects all common config options for 83xx boards. and so on for all other architectures/manufacturer ...
And a "#include "configs/common/..." provides enough information, what will come in with that include ...
