I'm trying to produce a Kconfig to deal with allocating
extra resources depending on what is selected. I'd like
to have an integer which specifies the
ie:
config ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES
int
default 0
help
Extra resources depending on the board selected
...
config BOARD_A
set ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES 32
config BOARD_B
set ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES 64
in this example, if board A is selected, then ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES
would be 32, if BOARD_B is selected then it would be 64.
doing
config ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES
int
default 0
default 32 if BOARD_A
default 64 if BOARD_B
doesn't work, and involves changing this part of the Kconfig
every time a new board is added.
Is there any current way of doing this, would there be any
objections to having some form of 'set' clause in a config
statememt?

Currently, the rather crufty approach is to do:
config ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES_32
bool
config ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES_64
bool
config BOARD_A
select ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES_32
config BOARD_B
select ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES_64
and have the following in the header file:
#ifdef ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES_64
#define ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES 64
#elif defined(ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES_32)
#define ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES 32
#else
#define ARCH_EXTRA_RESOURCES 0
#endif

The construct does work, config PAGE_OFFSET in arch/x86/Kconfig
uses it, though the order is different (the base default is last).
