Hi,

Thanks for the replies.

What isn't commented below should already be fixed. I'll resubmit the
entire set when it looks like there's nothing left to amend.

Will do. I was thinking I should do that, this is the first time I
used git format-patch / git send-email.

Since MACH_UC7112LX is the only board right now, how can it "enable all boards"?

One way I can think of is to remove CONFIG_MACH_UC7112LX=y from
defconfig and have it (and all future boards) "default y" in
arch/arm/mach-moxart/Kconfig.

I focus on a single hardware, UC-7112-LX. There's at least one more
board with only minor differences (RAM / flash size). But for now,
MACH_UC7112LX is the one I have access to and can test. I think
UC-7110 is already supported, that it would boot, just copy
arch/arm/boot/dts/moxart-uc7112lx.dts and modify ranges for RAM and
MTD. I want to leave this in a state where remaining hardware can
easily be added, albeit by someone that isn't me :)

I can't find a good example of how other platforms do this, is a DT
lookup an accepted solution? :

static const struct of_device_id moxart_match[] = {
       { .compatible = "moxa,moxart" },
       { }
};

static int __init moxart_idle_init(void)
{
    struct device_node *node;

    node = of_find_matching_node(NULL, moxart_match);
    if (!node)
        return -ENODEV;

    arm_pm_idle = moxart_idle;
    return 0;
}

arch_initcall(moxart_idle_init);


Best regards,
Jonas
