And that's expected. Convergence is a dream.
I disagree. I think it's a goal rather than a dream.
AGESA boards use BuildOpts for configuration, and not much Kconfig/devicetree.cb
I've done a bit of work on moving BuildOpts config for IDS into Kconfig, but it's not quite ready yet. I wrote the change dry and the only test data I have available reports coreboot not working after applying it. :) Sometime..
SPD parsing routines. I can go on and on. non-divergence is a moot point.
I disagree - I think we need to work towards less divergence rather than move in a direction which is likely to create more divergence.
That's the only way to keep the codebase maintainable - which we all want. It was clear to me already when we saw the very first code from AMD that integration into our own codebase would take a while.
I don't want to remove contributed code until we've given that a real shot.
