Is there are reason you are choosing modules here? In my opinion, as
we are building BSP-specific kernels, there is really no need for modules.
Someone else was arguing for converting =y to =m on some other bits
earlier as well. One problem with this is it makes building smaller
systems without module support even more difficult.
Is there any real advantage to building as modules?
I agree, this would be better done as built in kernel driver than kernel
module.
I tried to do what other config fragments for graphics driver were doing in
the tree.
I haven't merged this series yet, since I'm finishing up the 3.4.25/3.4.26 and
preempt-rt refreshes.
I'll wait for heads up that the series is changed with this from m -> y before
pulling.
Hi Bruce,
I have changed the gma500 from m->y on the contrib branch. So the nitin/meta
contrib
branch is ready for you to pull in now.
Sounds good. I have the commits merged locally now and stacked on top
of the 3.4.25/26 and -rt patch refreshes. I'm doing a few extra build
tests, but once they complete, I'll push this out and let you know. It
will most likely be over the weekend or first thing Monday.
Cheers,
Bruce
Thanks,
Nitin
