[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 1/1] x86: provide CONFIG_BUILD_ROM

Sat Oct 14 07:10:15 UTC 2017


Up to now we depended on an exported variable to build u-boot.rom.
We should be able to specify it in the configuration file, too.

With this patch this becomes possible using the new Kconfig option
CONFIG_BUILD_ROM.

This option depends on CONFIG_X86 and is selected in
qemu-x86_defconfig and qemu-x86_64_defconfig.

v3
	Rework the documentation. Simon suggested not to deprecate
	the export variable.
v2
	Enable CONFIG_BUILD_ROM for qemu-x86_64_defconfig
	as suggested by Bin.
	Fix typos.
