I'm wondering if your series "Some improvements related to build system"
is going to be applied to u-boot master branch anytime soon?
I have pending update series for ARC where I'm enabling use of Device
Model. For this I need to use SYS_MALLOC_F (is required by
CONFIG_DM_SERIAL).
So I'm interested in your patch " [PATCH v3 5/7] malloc_f: enable
SYS_MALLOC_F by default if DM is on" in particular. Without it I'll need
to add SYS_MALLOC_F in arch/arc/Kconfig.
