Confusing? I'm not sure about that. It's actually really simple from my perspective: arch/arm - the ARM 32-bit architecture arch/arm/mach-* - support for a single SoC or a group of similar SoCs arch/arm/plat-* - common support for a set of dissimilar SoCs which want to share code between themselves How is that confusing? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
