Yeah, could be. It's just that all boards I know of so far have either SD card or eMMC. Maybe it's better put in defconfig. I just want to avoid people getting disappointed when enabling Allwinner support and not being able to use it properly. You know that arm64 has only _one_ defconfig to rule them all, so compiling a special kernel with magic config options is not the usual drill for arm64 - for good reasons. > I don't see why MMC support should be essential for A64 SoC. So I guess I put it in defconfig then, together with the patch to actually enable Allwinner support by default, which I forgot in this series.
