I'm not sure why there is a difference, but it's probably just carelessness. Normally in ChromeOS we use =m for drivers that can afford to wait until after the UI is up and running. That helps improve boot time since the user can use the device sooner (and it's OK if the battery driver takes a few extra seconds to load). The only things that really should be =y are drivers that are critical to load early or that are needed for the user to interact with the system. In this case you could argue that loading sbs earlier means that if the system is low on battery it will get back to shutdown sooner. I'm not sure getting the shutdown a few seconds earlier is really critical, though... -Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

There's one really nice thing about having an exynos_defconfig. It makes it a little easier to tease apart what's actually needed if you just want to build a product kernel that support exynos. Most product kernels shipping in embedded devices only support one or maybe a small number of SoCs. If you need to try to figure out what parts of the multi_v7 config is relevant then it's very hard. It's also nice to help measure multiplatform code bloat. You can keep measuring the output kernel size of the exynos kernel to see how much bloat all of the mutliplatform stuff has added. so I would vote for CONFIG_BATTERY_SBS=y for both configs. Especially since it results in only 3.6 kB bigger kernel image (0.05% kernel size increase for kernel image built with exynos_defconfig, probably a lot less for multi_v7_defconfig one).

There were arguments that it is still useful in some cases. I think that if it would be possible to go from a modular multi_v7_defconfig to a modular/built-in single platform config (using a script?) all such use cases will be covered. targeted to a single platform is not aligned with the effort to have support for multi platforms kernels. Currently even for multi_v7_defconfig =m seems to be an exception from the general rule: $ grep =m arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig CONFIG_INET6_AH=m CONFIG_INET6_ESP=m CONFIG_INET6_IPCOMP=m CONFIG_IPV6_MIP6=m CONFIG_IPV6_TUNNEL=m CONFIG_CFG80211=m CONFIG_MAC80211=m CONFIG_BRCMFMAC=m CONFIG_RT2X00=m CONFIG_RT2800USB=m $ wc -l arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig 405 arch/arm/configs/multi_v7_defconfig Again, I think this is more of a consequence of people adding the config they use (which as you said in most cases is just built everything in the kernel to avoid copying modules) than something that was made on purpose. so I would vote for CONFIG_BATTERY_SBS=y for both configs. Especially since it results in only 3.6 kB bigger kernel image (0.05% kernel size increase for kernel image built with exynos_defconfig, probably a lot less for multi_v7_defconfig one). I'll repost with =y for exynos_defconfig but I really think that for multi_v7_defconfig we should have everything as a module if possible. It's just 3.6 kB but if every single platform do the same the kernel will be quite bloated for little gain.
