This doesn't seem right. When I do a "make mx51_defconfig", I see that mx51 and mx53 are selected, which is odd but should be okay if you move mx51_defconfig->mx5_defconfig. After doing a "make mx51_defconfig", I have go unselect mx53 in the menuconfig and the image can boot for me on my MX51 HW. I didn't have to do in 2.6.38-rc1? Shouldn't the image generated from mx51_defconfig be bootable on both mx51 and mx53?

I thought we were going the down the path of a single kernel for mx50, mx51, and mx53? Am I missing the correct steps for a single kernel all the mx5 series SoCs?

Internally, we have a single mx5_defconfig for all MX5 SOCs. Is that something we should look to do?

Thanks,
Dinh
