[PATCH] x86/Kconfig: fix lists in X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM help text
Posted by Mateusz Jończyk 9 months ago
Support for STA2X11-based systems was removed in February in
commit dcbb01fbb7ae ("x86/pci: Remove old STA2x11 support")

Intel MID for 32-bit platforms was removed from this list also in
February in
commit ca5955dd5f08 ("x86/cpu: Document CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MID as 64-bit-only")

Intel MID for 64-bit platforms is a duplicate for "Merrifield/Moorefield
MID devices".

Hello,

I have re-reviewed my old patches resubmitted recently by David Heidelberg
and applied today by Ingo Molnar.

Only two of them needed updates, the other one was in
commit 9232c49ff31c ("x86/Kconfig: Enable X86_X2APIC by default and improve help text")

I am sending the updates as separate patches to be applied on top of tip.git.

Once again thanks to David.

Greetings,
Mateusz

Was it? It's rather hidden and not recommended as far as I understand.

Well, with the '32-bit' qualifier the statement is true, isn't it?

ca5955dd5f08 removed a MID reference from the 32-bit list and added a 
different one to the 64-bit list:

Ah, right, we are talking only about the _list_ here and not about the
support code. Now it's all clear, indeed.
