This saves RAM
Enabling XIP_KERNEL requires specifying the physical address of the readonly memory. As these addresses vary among different SoCs and even machines with the same SoC enabling XIP_KERNEL might restrict the set of machines that can run the resulting kernel to a subset of the configured in machines. Still allowing XIP_KERNEL for a MULTIPLATFORM kernel makes sense as for some platforms MULTIPLATFORM is mandatory (e.g. bcm, highbank or imx). So to allow compiling a XIP kernel for these platforms, allow selecting XIP in the presence of ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de> --- This patch might be problematic for compile coverage testing according to Arnd. Still I need XIP for my efm32 machine as it only features 4 MiB of RAM. --- arch/arm/Kconfig | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
