I couldn't find an information on OpenWRT wiki about usage of subtargets vs. profiles, so I would appreciate a link to discussion. The only information I had is a little bit obsolete: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2007-July/001131.html In my case it doesn't seem right to add a profile for Flexibity as it will mean that a user has to choose one of tqma9263 or netus boards as a subtarget plus Flexibity profile... but my board is not any of above! And I would like to have a possibility to build several variants of firmware for Flexibity board with different features enabled.
