    "content": "The current way of specifying Arm configuration options is insufficient\nsince we can't identify the SoC we're building for from the MIDR\ninformation.\n\nInstead use user input - the machine meson option to specify the SoC, e.g.:\nmeson soc_test -Dmachine=thunderx\nmeson soc_test --cross-file config/arm/thunderx/arm64_thunderx_linux_gcc\n\nWe also want to be able to disable which drivers (and possibly\nlibraries) are built without user input. This is useful when building:\n1. on an SoC that is slow and we want to build only what is necessary\nwithout the user having to check which libraries they have installed\n2. a cross build on a fast aarch64 machine but with target SoC which\ndiffers in capabilities or libraries.\n\nJuraj Linkeš (2):\n  build: rework Arm build options\n  build: disable drivers from file\n\n config/arm/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc              |  28 ----\n .../arm/{ => armada}/arm64_armada_linux_gcc   |   2 +-\n config/arm/armada/meson.build                 |  31 ++++\n config/arm/default/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc      |  23 +++\n config/arm/default/meson.build                |   8 +\n config/arm/meson.build                        | 139 +++++++++++-------\n .../{ => thunderx}/arm64_thunderx_linux_gcc   |   2 +-\n config/arm/thunderx/meson.build               |  18 +++\n .../thunderxt88/arm64_thunderxt88_linux_gcc   |  16 ++\n config/arm/thunderxt88/meson.build            |  18 +++\n config/meson.build                            |   9 +-\n drivers/meson.build                           |  13 +-\n 12 files changed, 218 insertions(+), 89 deletions(-)\n delete mode 100644 config/arm/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc\n rename config/arm/{ => armada}/arm64_armada_linux_gcc (93%)\n create mode 100644 config/arm/armada/meson.build\n create mode 100644 config/arm/default/arm64_armv8_linux_gcc\n create mode 100644 config/arm/default/meson.build\n rename config/arm/{ => thunderx}/arm64_thunderx_linux_gcc (92%)\n create mode 100644 config/arm/thunderx/meson.build\n create mode 100644 config/arm/thunderxt88/arm64_thunderxt88_linux_gcc\n create mode 100644 config/arm/thunderxt88/meson.build"
