Dear Sonic Zhang,

Thanks for continuing the work on this!

You can't just remove BR2_BFIN_FDPIC and BR2_BFIN_FLAT, they are used
in the external toolchain logic of Buildroot:

$ git grep BR2_BFIN_FDPIC .
arch/Config.in.bfin:	default BR2_BFIN_FDPIC
arch/Config.in.bfin:config BR2_BFIN_FDPIC
toolchain/toolchain-external/Config.in:	default "bfin-uclinux"		 if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BLACKFIN_UCLINUX_2011R1 && !BR2_BFIN_FDPIC
toolchain/toolchain-external/Config.in:	default "bfin-linux-uclibc"	 if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BLACKFIN_UCLINUX_2011R1 && BR2_BFIN_FDPIC
toolchain/toolchain-external/Config.in:	default "bfin-uclinux"		 if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BLACKFIN_UCLINUX_2012R1 && !BR2_BFIN_FDPIC
toolchain/toolchain-external/Config.in:	default "bfin-linux-uclibc"	 if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BLACKFIN_UCLINUX_2012R1 && BR2_BFIN_FDPIC
toolchain/toolchain-external/Config.in:	default "bfin-uclinux"		 if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BLACKFIN_UCLINUX_2012R2 && !BR2_BFIN_FDPIC
toolchain/toolchain-external/Config.in:	default "bfin-linux-uclibc"	 if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BLACKFIN_UCLINUX_2012R2 && BR2_BFIN_FDPIC

So, I think your patch 3/7 should be first in the series, and it should
be followed by a patch that removes BR2_BFIN_FDPIC and BR2_BFIN_FLAT
and use the new BR2_BINFMT_* symbols in the external toolchain logic.

Basically, your patch set should not break things! When you remove a
symbol, make sure it isn't used anymore.

Other than that, I'm fine with this patch adding the blackfin CPU variants.

Best regards,

Thomas
