You don't actually change the depends line :(
Please fix up, and test it, and then resend.

IHOM, the dependency is correct: 64bit platforms don't support
ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_32BIT. What do you think?
Thanks,

I think this indicates the commit message is unclear.
Part of it is that the config is inverted from the description. The
patch doesn't enable the 32bit legacy binder ABI on 32bit systems, it
just allows the option to be unselected, so that the 64bit ABI will be
used on 32bit systems.
Conceptually I don't have an objection to the change (though maybe try
to rework the commit message), but I don't have anything to actually
test it on right now, so I'm hesitant to ack it.
thanks

It might also be good to add some detail as to the motivation for this
change? What benefit does it bring to 32bit platforms to use the newer
64bit ABI?

To be honest, the motivation is just to add one more choice for 32bit
platform and let the code be tested under 32bit platform. Maybe we
could then remove ANDROID_BINDER_IPC_32BIT and the related code after
some time?

I'm mixed. It would be nice to deprecate the old 32bit ABI, but binder
is a real Linux kernel interface now, so we don't break compatibility
(at least if it affects anyone - which may be questionable here - not
sure there's many upstream 32bit platforms concerned with running
legacy Android builds). But just adding the extra option just means
there's yet another configuration to test and to keep working. So you
may want to articulate the benefits better to make this worth the
effort of doing a full transition.

Future versions of Android "might" be changing if they support, or not,
all of the different combinations of 32/64 bit apis. So maybe we should
wait until a real solid direction with regards to this is published
before worrying about dropping anything...
