Maybe. This is the second time I've read the patch and I'm still a bit
confused. It would help to have a clear statement of what the patch
does and some update to the docs.
I really don't like the referred commit though:
41f59f68539 microblaze: Build only DTBs for selected target
I much prefer that we build all the .dts for an SoC, not just the
particular one for the single board, since they typically use common
.dtsi files and it is easier to detect problems with related boards.
So I actually don't like the idea of just building the one DT at all
and I think the Makefile should list the .dts files too.
Also, what exactly does it mean to make the prompt depend on an
option? Does that make the option such that it can be set by defconfig
only if the condition is true?

Simon
