Sergei, perhaps it would be acceptable for the Hawkboard
MACH_OMAPL138_HAWKBOARD bool to be the 'default' for the necessary MTD
settings? This would be similar to KEYBOARD_GPIO_POLLED in
9cc3049911d0166d54247cf2471802eb5293c66c and GPIO_PCA953X in
d5539ca0a5c9abd5cbf9ddcbbc1c2a507b5fd63c.
Sugosh, this means you would make an entry in
arch/arm/mach-davinci/KConfig for each of the 'selects' above.
Something like:
config MTD
default MACH_OMAPL138_HAWKBOARD
config MTD_PARTITIONS
default MACH_OMAPL138_HAWKBOARD
[etc.]
Thanks a lot for your hints. I am ready to go this way too. Let me test
this and get back.
Don't even waste your time, it won't be acceptable.
I agree that MTD_CFI and MTD_PHYSMAP are not needed and so should not
be included in the 'defaults.'
No, this was an error, these options should be removed.
@Sergei
We have a common da8xx_omapl_defconfig which is being currently used by
multiple boards(including hawkboard). Not all boards have a nand flash
mounted as default. So i cannot add this in the above defconfig file.
Why? If the board doesn't have a NAND flash, it doesn't register the
platform device and the driver doesn't see it. What's the issue?
So then, the flash driver, along with the neccessary mtd configs will have
to be included everytime through the menuconfig, inspite of the fact
that the flash is a default component on the board.
Note that a NAND flash is a default component of DA850 EVM board too,
nevertheless the NAND driver is not enabled in the defconfig.
