Bug#703209: linux: Please Add multiplatform flavour to armhf



Package: linux
Version: 3.8.2-1~experimental.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

>From linux 3.8, support of armada 370/xp was added in arm.
This is classified into the armhf architecture of debian.
First I began and thought that an armada flavor would be added.
When I consulted about this in debian-arm ML, I got advice from
several developers what "multiplatform" flavour was better than
"armada" flavour[0].

Since arm is developed toward multiplatform from now on,
I think that "multiplatform" is desirable.
Although there is still little SoC which is supporting
multiplatform, I would like to support armada 370/xp
(mach-mvebu) first.

I created the patch which supports this.
Please check and apply.

NOTE: The vexpress can also be supported by multiplatform.
If it is desirable to include this in multiplatform, I will
create a new patch.

Best regards,
  Nobuhiro
