These defconfigs contain the CONFIG_M25P80 symbol, which is now
dependent on the MTD_SPI_NOR symbol. Add CONFIG_MTD_SPI_NOR to the
relevant defconfigs.

At the same time, drop the now-nonexistent CONFIG_MTD_CHAR symbol.

I think we should not use the "select", since the SPI-NOR framework also depends
on the MTD code.

For the mxs_defconfig and imx_v6_v7_defconfig

I hadn't realized that the problem this patch solves was already present
in the code, so this patch is simply catching up the defconfigs rather
than part of a series which changed the code to cause the problem.

So, this needs to be applied ASAP.

I think this should be split it up so that each defconfig can go through
the tree that owns it to avoid conflicts. If you repost split up, I can
apply the tegra_defconfig change to the Tegra tree.

Probably the same for mvebu (Ccing Jason).

Excuse my ignorance of the history of this bug, but shouldn't this be
solved in the Kconfig logic?  Since when do we solve config symbol
dependency bugs in the defconfigs?

Long story short: it was decided that select'ing this new symbol was not
appropriate. Instead, it must be explicitly selected by the user, hence
the defconfig fix.

The full story: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/17/45

And in particular: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/21/425

ahhh, it already depend's on MTD_SPI_NOR in Kconfig

  http://git.infradead.org/l2-mtd.git/blobdiff/254592db612aeb55d80399a04995b68f7da48c99..e43b20619bdb6c851dd7b49cbd15e52875a785d4:/drivers/mtd/devices/Kconfig

ok, now it makes sense.

Yes, this is "catching up the defconfigs." The SPI_NOR framework is new,
and I didn't want to generate defconfig noise until a few things
stabilized (particularly, its Kconfig symbol name).

OK, I'll try to split it up. Is ARM unique in tracking defconfigs in
separate trees? I assume MIPS, PowerPC, and Blackfin won't require the
same splitting? I'd like to avoid 31 patches when <20 could suffice.

I'll also rebase on linux-next. I think there may be a few conflicts.

Thanks,
Brian

FWIW, I can take care of the patch for mvebu. Just drop it from your set
and I'll prepare one for Jason.

Sorry, I have no idea how the other arches handle defconfigs:-(

I guess you could also just see if arm-soc (arm@kernel.org) will take
this patch, and deal with any merge conflicts that arise when they merge
all the sub-arch defconfig changes. I CC'd them to find out if they
think that's a better idea.

Hi Brian:
  If we need to split the patch, please keep the mxs_defconfig and 
  imx_v6_v7_defconfig in a single patch,
  Shawn will review and merge or ack that patch.

  thanks

wrt arm-soc, typically they take all changes to multi_v7_defconfig
directly since it is prone to conflicts.  All the other ones are managed
by the individual sub-arch maintainers.

I can't speak for the other sub-archs, but I typically prefer that
patches be based on an -rc tag, -rc1 if possible.

thx,

Jason.

I'm splitting all the others out, so I'll just keep the mvebu one
(combined with Jason's other Marvell platforms) all together in my
series, if you don't mind. Thanks for the offer though.

I'm preparing a split patch series and should send v2 shortly. A few of
the unaccounted platforms + the multi-platform are lumped together for
direct inclusion in arm-soc (?).

What is this arm@kernel.org you speak of? My Google-fu doesn't turn up a
separate arm-soc email / mailing list, and it's not in MAINTAINERS.

OK, this was already based on -rc1. I'll leave it as-is, and maintainers
can easily work out the conflicts.

It's the email address of the ARM SoC maintainers (Arnd, Olof, Kevin).
All the ARM sub-architecture maintainers send their pull requests there,
which all get aggregated and forwarded to Linus. They also take some
patches directly, for cross-sub-architecture stuff like
multi_v7_defconfig, or small amounts of bug-fixes after the main pull
requests are sent.

This is making a trivial patch a pain to get merged.

Cases like these are easiest that we just take the patch directly in
an early-merge branch (i.e. cleanup or fixes-non-critical, or a
generic depends branch), and if there's conflicts as topics are merged
in from subplatforms we can deal with it then.

Are you referring to basing on -rc1, or the series being split up to
the individual sub-arch maintainers?

*slightly* confused,

Jason.

I'm referring to us taking the patch into something like our cleanup
branch, and any branches that come in from you or other subplatforms
will be merged on top, so we can resolve conflicts there and then.
We'll merge in the cleanup branch into other next/* branches as needed
to resolve the conflicts in our tree instead of percolating them all
the way up.

In case you didn't notice, I already had split up the patch series a
little more for v2 (based on -rc1 still), and most of it seems to be
going through the sub-arch trees, I think. There is one patch targeted
directly at arm-soc (that's you, Olof?).

Let me know if v2 has any problems.

Thanks,
Brian
