Problem is this is nonsensical. A Geode processor CANNOT be paired with an Intel chipset (the original Geode GX1 came out of National Semiconductor/Cyrix and was later bought by AMD). > So we don't need to enable PINCTRL (via other symbols) anymore for this? No idea, I wasn't able to find very much information when I looked at this. I did find: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2018-August/019479.html This doesn't tell me what platform Martin Schiller was trying for. 17f30bfcf7 makes me suspect Martin Schiller was simply trying to do this to all x86 platforms and didn't realize geode was a specialized target. Alternatively Martin Schiller may have been trying to use a MCP23S08 on a Geode processor. Unfortunately using CONFIG_X86_INTEL_LPSS is a bizzare choice since CONFIG_X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE has fewer side-effects and then current Geodes were AMD processors. With sparse information the former is my present belief. Is anyone reading this list using a Geode processor with a MCP23S08? Otherwise my present belief is only people with Intel x86 processors are interested in the MCP23S08. -- (\___(\___(\______ --=> 8-) EHM <=-- ______/)___/)___/) \BS ( | ehem+sig...@m5p.com PGP 87145445 | ) / \_CS\ | _____ -O #include <stddisclaimer.h> O- _____ | / _/ 8A19\___\_|_/58D2 7E3D DDF4 7BA6 <-PGP-> 41D1 B375 37D0 8714\_|_/___/5445 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
