I reflected on this when preparing the patches. It seemed to me that the
CONFIG_BROKEN approach was slightly preferable. If initial support for
CONFIG_ARCH_TEGRA is merged, there will be a base set of mainline Kconfig
directives in mainline for others to use when working on support for
future Tegra chips, such as the X1. It also moves mainline slightly
closer to Tegra132 support than it would be without the patch. At this
point in time in my life, I've come to appreciate the incremental "baby
step" approach ;-)
That written, the difference between the two approaches is rather minimal.
So ultimately I'm fine with whatever you and Catalin want to do.
regards,
- Paul
