Fair enough. My thought was you still wanted to turn on all the express drivers. Versatile is specially handled in the kernel config logic so I thought you were doing the same. All is good.

We are, they're in the config-armv7 file now along with all the highbank bits :-)

Hi Peter,
Please take a look at the attached. Note that the default kernel variant is actually a versatile, and you weren't inheriting that. Also, we need to set the V6_V7 multiplatform option because the current Kconfig logic will otherwise enable AUTO CPU support, which will force us to have a V5 kernel. So take a look. I'll be online later.
Tested with a cross compiler only, but it built.
A couple of things:
This is incorrect as we've uncoupled the unified from the rest of the kernel to simplify and clean up the build. -temp-armv7l-versatile: config-arm-versatile temp-arm-generic +temp-armv7l-versatile: config-armv7 config-arm-versatile temp-arm-generic
But, the unified kernel is the default kernel, right? As in kernel- is the unified kernel? That one is currently a versatile kernel. It is, if you look in Makefile.config pulling its config from the versatile config files per the above, which without explicitly pulling in config-armv7 means that you get whatever versatile turns on for you, and certainly none of the intended config-armv7 bits.
Unless I am missing something, there's a bug in the existing config merging that is actually the root cause here. Please explain what you are trying to do with joining these if I am wrong.
The fix is actually this. With unified kernel the versatile config file (highbank too) don't actually get used at all and are due to be removed. I didn't want to do that until I knew we were good to go.
-kernel-$(VERSION)-armv7l.config: /dev/null temp-armv7l-versatile +kernel-$(VERSION)-armv7l.config: /dev/null temp-armv7
I managed to miss this in the move. Good catch to give me the general direction to look :)

Yea, we're talking the same language now :)
OK, I assume you've got the ball again, but let me know if you need anyone to assist with multiplatform config.
Jon.

That one built so we're good to go for rc7

Just for testing in particular the highbank stuff but the vexpress too.

Any chance we could enable the Marvell Armada 300 & XP series SoC's too?

It is enabled it just won't work. Well it will likely boot the kernel but as smp support as well sata, MMC, ethernet and other drivers are still missing it's not likely not to be that useful until 3.8 or even later.
