It is pretty difficult for a user to know exactly what they need. I'd rather see it selected by ARCH_MXC, which makes it unambiguous. Thanks, M.

I'd rather see it selected by ARCH_MXC, which makes it ARM64 SoC maintainers suggest not add more driver specific options except an Generic ARCH option. As GPCv2 is also used in MX8MQ. So we may select it in armv8 defconfig. If this option is invisible, we can't select it. Regards Dong Aisheng > unambiguous. > > Thanks, > > M. > -- > Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...

Selecting the driver when the platform is supposed to be supported is the right way to solve this problem. Thanks, M.

We have only one CONFIG_ARCH_MXC for all MX8 SoCs, e.g. mx8qxp, mx8mq... Only MX8MQ needs to use GPCv2. Selecting GPCv2 under ARCH_MXC means users have no chance to disable it for mx8qxp which does not need it. We probably could introduce SOC option under drivers/soc/ to do the default configs selection. But we've already handled all other driver selections in defconfig e.g. firmware, clk, pinctrl, power domain and etc. Not sure whether GPCv2 should be an exception.

Code bloat? If you want fine grained selection for people dealing with a single SoC, make it depend on CONFIG_EXPERT. Don't force this on unsuspecting users who expect their HW to just work. Something like: config IMX_GPCV2 bool "i.MX GPCv2 IRQ chip" if EXPERT def_bool ARCH_MXC select IRQ_DOMAIN help Enables the wakeup IRQs for IMX platforms with GPCv2 block > > We probably could introduce SOC option under drivers/soc/ to do the default configs > selection.

I think something like the above should be the rule. Configuration feature creep is not helping anyone. M.
