I was seeing the compilation breaking up at patch level if I did so. Will try to see if this can be achieved without breaking up the compilation for individual patches in v3. > Not sure why you're describing it as "churning out a host of ARMv8 based > SoCs". > Just get to the point-- Layerscape is an SoC family so we're changing > from the SoC specific ARCH kconfig option to a more general SoC family > option. The prologue is to describe that other ARMv8 SoCs with similar architecture will be put-out, which will be part of the overall Layerscape family. Regards, Bhupesh
