Odd top-level directory for the kernel, are you sure this is correct?

thanks,

greg k-h

Well, it is kinda a temporary location, since well, I could not find a good
place for board overlays but a top-level location seems better than putting
them in any arch specific location. I am open to moving them to a more
suitable location if we have one.
top-level location is not ok for something so tiny and "special".  Just
put it where all other dtso files go.

thanks,

greg k-h


So here are the directories where dtso files currently go:

❯ find . -type f -name "*.dtso" -printf "%h\n" | sort -u
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/amlogic
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/renesas
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/ti
./arch/arm64/boot/dts/xilinx
./arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx
./arch/arm/boot/dts/ti/omap
./drivers/clk
./drivers/of
./drivers/of/unittest-data


Out of these, `drivers/of` and `drivers/of/unittest-data` contain unittest dtso, so probably not the place.

And the `arch/arm` and `arch/arm64` are for arch specific stuff. MikroBUS is supported in RISC-V boards as well (BeagleV-Ahead). So probably not the correct location either.

Maybe something like `arch/common/addon_boards` would be better?

Whats about

drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikrobus.rs
drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikroe-1714.dtso
drivers/misc/mikrobus/mikroe-5761-i2c.dtso

?
