I have just been handed the task of cleaning up our U-Boot port to our
ThunderX armv8 chip and am wondering where I should put the files
specific to our chip.
The people who previously worked on the chip created a subdirectory
under u-boot and have things scattered about.
Should I create a subdirectory under arch/arm/cpu/armv8 like
arch/arm/cpu/armv8/mach-thunderx or should I create a mach-thunderx
directory directly under the cpu directory?
I personally prefer mach-thunderx over cpu/xxx/xxx. This is the newer
"directory style" at least for armv7 or earlier platforms. With less
directory levels to type.
I'm assuming include files should go under
arch/arm/include/asm/arch-thunderx.
Or arch/arm/mach-thunderx/include/asm.
I very much want to get this stuff pushed upstream so I don't run into
the situation we've been stuck with our Octeon MIPS processors. My
biggest problem is that a lot of code doesn't work.
I'm still trying to get up to speed with the armv8 U-Boot.
There should be many people on the list being able to assist with
armv8 related questions.
Thanks,
Stefan
