Hi Luca,

> This patch renames the bare-metal toolchain vendor used by the

> To build the Microblaze applications available with the xilinx-embeddedsw

>
> BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BARE_METAL_BUILDROOT_ARCH="microblazeel-buildroot-elf"
>
> This change keeps backwards compatibility for users already using the
> following architecture tuple:
>
> BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BARE_METAL_BUILDROOT_ARCH="microblazeel-xilinx-elf"
>
> Either vendor name is now valid, but the documentation will describe using
> the Buildroot vendor name.

Yes, I agree with this.  Probably the sooner we transition over the better,
in order to limit the number of users of the xilinx vendor name.
