NAND and 36BIT are orthogonal options -- what is wrong with the previous suggestion of splitting them in mkconfig?
I don't like this idea as it will pollute the namespace by a number of uncontrolled auto-generated #defines, which may be a nightmare to debug because you quickly forget where such definitions might be coming from - after you realize that they are actually set because you cannot find them in any board-related config or source file.
Would this still be a big problem if the auto-generated defines were put in their own namespace (such as the CONFIG_MK_* that you suggested)?
Probably not a big problem, and maybe not even a practical problem. But it is still ugly, and nothing I really like.
But as it seems that nobody else cares about this, and I don;t have any better ideas either, I guess I should not block this.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
