[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 3/3] tools/genboardscfg.py: improve performance more with Kconfiglib

Masahiro Yamada yamada.m at jp.panasonic.com
Tue Sep 16 04:29:08 CEST 2014


The idea of using Kconfiglib was given by Tom Rini.
It allows us to scan lots of defconfigs very quickly.
This commit also uses multiprocessing for further acceleration.

Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg at chromium.org>

Changes in v3:
  - A minor comment fix

Changes in v2:
  - Do not install Kconfiglib
  - Comments fixes, cleanups based on Simon's review.
