This adds (some) (functionally dead) code to all boards that did not require arch_cpu_init(). Amicalement,

Yes, it adds a "return 0" only. Is this terribly bad? Isn't it better than having to select CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT for every board to select arch_cpu_init(), which is supposed to be CPU dependent?

It adds a "#define CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INTI" only. Is this terribly bad ? If what bothers you is that some board all repeat something that should be done only once, then it should bother you just as much that many boards repeat something that should not be done at all most of the time. I understand that you see a repetition of CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT that you suspect is highly redundant. But then, you should cure the repetition, not the existence of CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT. How about this approach: since the problem is the presence of CPU- (or Soc-)level elements in board-level config files, and since there are probably many other such items in board config files (CPU type in a SoC and HW IP configurations, for instance) then why not introduce some cpu-config and soc-config file which would group all those cpu- (resp soc-)level items, including any "#define CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT", and replace these items in board config files with a single "#include "<cpu>-config.h" (or "<soc>-config.h")? This would significantly reduce board config file size. One could even choose either of two courses depending on how many or how few boards require CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT: if many boards require it, let the cpu- or soc-common config contain the define, and the few boards which don't will have to explicitly undefine it; if only a few boards need the define, then it won't be done in the cpu- or soc-common config but in each board that requires it. And CPUs, SoCs and boards that don't need ARCH_CPU_INIT at all won't grow a single useless byte. Amicalement,

It's not the top priority for me atm however...

Ok, before I rework this patch I would like to confirm with Albert if I should proceed with this patch series, or if he NACKs this idea. Regards, Fabio Estevam

By "this idea" I mean the removal of CONFIG_ARCH_CPU_INIT.
