    ARM: pxa: remove devicetree boards from pxa_defconfig · 976e509c
    Robert Jarzmik authored
    If both legacy and device-tree machines are mixed in the same defconfig,
    the legacy boards don't boot up anymore with gpio request deferral
    errors.
    
    This is seen when attempting to run akita, borzoi, spitz, terrier, or
    tosa in qemu with pxa_defconfig.
    
    The real reason behind is that gpio handling for pxa in its current
    state cannot be built for _both_ a devicetree machine (ie. pxa-dt.c) and
    a non devicetree machine (ie. corgi, tosa, ...).
    
    This is turn is because for devicetree a pinctrl is enforced for the
    machine, and a pinctrl driver is required. If it's not available,
    pxa_gpio_request() fails on pinctrl_request_gpio() and returns
    -EPROBE_DEFER.  It was introduced by commit f806dac5
    ("ARM: pxa: activate pinctrl for device-tree machines").
    
    Now the true chicken and egg problem is than machine files,
    ie. arch/arm/mach-pxa/xxx.c are using gpio before the drivers are
    probed, in the init_machine() function, and that's why pinctrl/gpio for
    legacy machine files is a bit difficult.
    
    As for now, to keep the compilation coverage and testing of legacy
    machines, this patch removes the 2 devicetree machines from
    pxa_defconfig.
