Yes, Kconfig.dts sounds like the better solution, IMHO.
But maybe we can even use Kconfig only for this? Do we need/want to stick that information in the dts? Why not put it into Kconfig files directly?
Ok, another alternative indeed.
Before we should decide the technical implementation, what do we want to achieve, what are our requirements to the system?
* configure cmos options defaults with make menuconfig
* have one single prominent place (per mainboard?) for those options?
* inherit options? Options per component? Like superio serial 0/1 on/off should be set in cmos instead of dts or compile time?
* simple format for describing the options
* have a tool that creates an "option_table" format file as we have it now, so we can easily use all the existing code for now (get_option(...), linuxbios table, lxbios utility....)
* what else...?
