I resumed the series [1] submitted by Waldemar Brodkorb, where I made
some changes to the patch [9/9] "configs/stm32f746_disco_sd: new defconfig"
based on the suggestions provided by Thomas Petazzoni during the review
of a previous series [2].

Like Waldemar, I also did not encounter any issues during testing on the
board.

Aside from this defconfig, it would be really nice to have a defconfig
that allows to test ARM noMMU (both FLAT and FDPIC) with Qemu. Could
you, and perhaps Waldemar, check what the options are? I had a quick
look, and it doesn't seem obvious which ARM noMMU platform supported by
Qemu is also supported by Linux. I vaguely remember at some point that
the versatile (or vexpress?) platforms allowed to boot a noMMU system,
but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks!

Thomas

There is versatile which can boot ARM noMMU FLAT, which was removed
by Buildroot in 9c5c3fbb2295f3f2b0bb27ac235d5f59afcfd55e, because it
requires Kernel patches. This defconfig is not capable of running
FDPIC Binaries because of some missing features regarding NPTL.

There is still no Cortex-M system emulation we could use for testing
both.

So a no go.

best regards
 Waldemar
