Tom will make a decision. Just my thought. U-Boot is basically a mirror of Linux. Syncing Kconfig will add new tool requirement, flex & bison, for building U-Boot, but this is OK because Linux does it. U-Boot follows Linux, for example, recently U-Boot adopted Linux-like SPDX license tag style. And, you understand well the points for resyncing. Yes, other parts must be adjusted. So, I am happy if you contribute to this work. Thanks! _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
