Ah, mips is different than arm here. If you configure a generic kernel
that supports arm/imx and some others the Kconfig settings for imx are still
available. Would it make more sense to do:
depends on MACH_INGENIC || MIPS_GENERIC || COMPILE_TEST
then? Or switch mips to the (IMHO) more intuitive approach that is taken
by arm, too? (i.e. ensure that MACH_INGENIC is =y for both a generic
kernel that supports this machine type among others and a tailored
kernel that only supports Ingenic.)
Best regards
