Re: [PATCH] arm: mediatek: split config into separate options for the board and SoC

Hi Weijie,

I have a better example for reference: arch/mips/mach-mtmips

ARCH_MTMIPS is defined for the entire MediaTek MIPS platform, same as ARCH_MEDIATEK.

The mtmips then defined its SoC families: SOC_MT7620, SOC_MT7621 and SOC_MT7628

Each SoC has its own folder and Kconfig, e.g.: arch/mips/mach-mtmips/mt7620/Kconfig

Every SoC then defined its own boards, e.g.: BOARD_MT7620_RFB and BOARD_MT7620_MT7530_RFB

So you can define configs like SOC_MT7622 (not just MT7622), and treat TARGET_MT7622 as a board, selecting SOC_MT7622. This will make sure all mediatek chips have unified SOC_MTxxxx

Other device driver can then be changed to depend on SOC_MTxxxx

Thank you for the quick response!

I will go study that folder and update my patch to be similar so there is consistency with the other MediaTek SoCs.

Thanks, Leith
