From 5c67cb1d044505cde4c8699b545b52ab1369cde2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 21:34:26 +0200 Subject: linux: use zImage by default on ARM Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed, since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address, except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format on ARM. All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.
