ARM and powerpc are somewhat different in this aspect, since ARM traditionally has not been able to build multiplatform kernels (especially not multi-soc-family kernels). Powerpc can build a kernel that will boot on all machines of a certain class (server, fsl-booke, ibm-booke, ppc32). So there's not really a whole lot of reason to have the custom per-board defconfigs in the kernel tree any more. For specific products it might still make sense for a vendor to make a custom minimal defconfig, but that doesn't mean it's a requirement to have them in the upstream repository. -Olof _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
