Subject: RE: [PATCH] arm/tegra: select AUTO_ZRELADDR by default

Well, just to be clear, here's the situation I think:

Tegra20's SDRAM starts at physical address 0.

Tegra30's SDRAM starts at physical address 2G.

To support that, we could either:

a) Introduce a new Kconfig variable for Tegra30, make T20/T30 mutually
exclusive, and update arch/arm/mach-tegra/Makefile.boot to set zreladdr
etc. based on the new Tegra30 config variable too. Then, there's no need
for AUTO_ZRELADDR anywhere.

b) Have no new config variable, build a unified T20/T30 kernel, leave
Makefile.boot untouched, and rely on using AUTO_ZRELADDR for Tegra30 to
account for the different SDRAM physical addresses.

Sorry, I don't quite understand that question.
