Sorry if I miss anything, but
what happens if I build an uImage just for Rainier (not enabling other
platforms in the kernel config) and then start it on Canyonlands for
example?
They both use PowerPC_44x_simple stuff and looks like now we claim that
all these "simple" boards are compatible. So, board check always passes,
although Canyonlands support is actually disabled (CONFIG_460EX = n;
CONFIG_PPC4xx_PCI_EXPRESS = n). It's not critical, but I just thought we
might also remove the platform-specific options from
arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/Kconfig for these boards at all. Just enable
all board-specific stuff under "config PPC44x_SIMPLE".
Otherwise we probably should have a configurable char *board[] array.
Thanks,
Valentine.
