Re: [RFC PATCH 06/19] powerpc: gamecube/wii: introduce GAMECUBE_COMMON
Add a config option GAMECUBE_COMMON to be used as a dependency for all options common to the Nintendo GameCube and Wii video game consoles. Maybe something like GAMECUBE_OR_WII instead? COMMON is so common it's meaningless. I don't like either GAMECUBE_OR_WII. It looks as if it can be used to match options for the GAMECUBE _or_ WII. But that's not the meaning of it. This option should be used only for options applicable to both the GAMECUBE and WII, i.e. basically those options in the WII which where inherited from the GAMECUBE to make it retro-compatible. If GAMECUBE_COMMON is unacceptable, maybe GAMECUBE_LEGACY or GAMECUBE_COMPAT? I don't have any strong opinion. Maybe NINTENDO_COMMON ? That is much worse than GAMECUBE_COMMON. Can you call the common option GAMECUBE, and have WII be for support for whatever is new on the Wii? Or is there some significant code that is only needed on the old gamecube?

We should avoid using NINTENDO just to refer to the Nintendo GameCube or Wii. They have other consoles too :) There's even a port of Linux to the Nintendo DS... I'd stick to GAMECUBE_COMMON or GAMECUBE_COMPAT. Cheers, Ben. Thanks, Albert ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

That gets messy in conditionals, like for example: config PCI bool PCI support if PPC_PCI_CHOICE default y if !40x !CPM2 !8xx !PPC_83xx \ -!PPC_85xx !PPC_86xx +!PPC_85xx !PPC_86xx !(GAMECUBE || WII) default PCI_PERMEDIA if !4xx !CPM2 !8xx default PCI_QSPAN if !4xx !CPM2 8xx select ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI I'd prefer to have a Kconfig option for that, if we can come up with an agreed name :) Thanks, Albert ___ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev

If we ever want to port to a future Nintendo system that is not compatible, we can still change it.
