A one-liner Kconfig patch authored by Anirudh Srinivasan of Tenstorrent will enable ESWIN SoC support by default (CONFIG_ARCH_ESWIN=y) in the RISC-V kernel defconfig, starting with Linux 7.2. The motivation is to make default-configured kernels bootable on the SiFive HiFive Premier P550 developer board. The patch is already queued in the RISC-V 'for-next' Git branch.
