[U-Boot] i.MX8M layout, rephrased
I'm looking at U-Boot master tree and u-boot-imx repository. What we have now is quite a mess for i.MX8M. In master we have the following directories: arch/arm/mach-imx/imx8 arch/arm/mach-imx/mx8m arch/arm/include/asm/arch-imx8 arch/arm/include/asm/arch-mx8m In u-boot-imx it is different: arch/arm/mach-imx/imx8 arch/arm/mach-imx/imx8m (vs ../mx8m in master) arch/arm/include/asm/arch/arch-imx8 arch/arm/include/asm/arch/arch-imx8m (vs ../mx8m in master) The question is which one is going to make it in the master tree? The problem here is that files from those directories are referenced in multiple places and the "imx8m"/"mx8m" is all over in the header files and sources so once we decided on either naming one tree would have to make a lot of changes either adding or removing that 'i' before "mx8m". Can anybody responsible tell _WHICH_ one is going to make it into the main source tree? Would it be better if we decide on it sooner than later (i.e. _NOW_) so we won't have to hunt it all over the tree later on?
