Hi Tom,

There are lots of boards supported in ARM architecture. The board select menu in arch/arm/Kconfig is already too fat.
This series introduces platform select between arch select and board select.
ARCH select (ARM) |-- Platform select |-- Board select
Many (not all) of boards have been moved to $(SOC)/Kconfig.
I built all the boards and confirmed the same binaries are produced with/without thie series.
I am including a patch to remove "omap5912osk" board in this series to avoid conflicts.
Prerequisites
[1] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/374758/ to avoid a conflict in drivers/usb/gadget/Makefile
[2] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/374416/ to avoid a conflict in doc/README.scrapyard
[3] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/375467/ to avoid a conflict in configs/jetson-tk1_defconfig
New boards are coming all the time, for example http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/376782/
The problem is this series causes big conflicts with such patches.
Because this series was reviewed, acked or tested by some ARM-SoC maintainers, I think this should go directly into u-boot/master asap along with some prerequisites.
What do you think? Should we wait for Albert's review?
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
