Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH 1/2] Build u-boot.imx by default when board uses it

CONFIG_IMX_CONFIG is set in boards.cfg.

ugly undocumented CONFIG's are awesome

this really should be in a subdir rather than the top level. we want to keep arch/soc-specific cruft out of the top level Makefile if possible. isn't there a sub-config.mk somewhere you could add the line unconditionally ?

Can't see one, but Aneesh proposes the OMAP approach of arch/arm/cpu/**/config.mk files.

The CONFIG_IMX_CONFIG actually changes per-board, so the boards.cfg approach to set it seems ok; however we could try defining the u-boot.imx rule in a common i.MX makefile snippet somewhere.

Perhaps arch/arm/cpu/armv7/config.mk or arch/arm/cpu/armv7/mx5/Makefile, or a new file; I don't have a strong opinion.
