Hi Russell,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 20, 2011 at 12:03 PM, Russell King - ARM Linux <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:linux@arm.linux.org.uk">linux@arm.linux.org.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

What this means is that any platform in the machine database which has not<br>
been submitted to mainline for 12 months since it was registered will be<br>
automatically dropped from the file, and the platform maintainer will need<br>
to either talk to me to get it reinstated before submission, or update the<br>
entry in some way to 'freshen' it.<br></blockquote><div><br>I think this statement matches the needs of those, like me, are trying to add a new board.<br>My patch [0] applies but does not build any more. How does it work in this case?<br>
<br>I may include a new bit which adds the right entry in mach-types (so that my patch is actually<br>buildable and testable before inclusion), in taking my patch set then you should drop the<br>mach-types bit because it will be updated by you script later.<br>

This does have the potential to go wrong if people start randomly changing<br>
the format of how they write the MACHINE_START() macro. If it's not found<br>
by:<br>
<br>
grep -rh --exclude=include --include='*.c' MACHINE_START arch/arm |<br>
grep -v '^#' | sed "s@[^(]*(\([^,]*\).*@ ('\1')@;2,\$s@^@,@"<br></blockquote><div><br>maybe it could be useful to add this regex in the top of mach-types or put it in scripts/ so that everybody can validate his/her changes.<br>
<br>anyway I would add some comment in mach-types that explains how the files is managed.<br><br>thanks,<br>Domenico<br></div></div><br>-----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok<br> --[ <a href="http://www.dandreoli.com/gpgkey.asc">http://www.dandreoli.com/gpgkey.asc</a><br>
