| * [MTD] [NAND] ndfc driverSean MacLennan2009-01-051-0/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current ndfc driver only compiles under arch/ppc. This arch was removed from the kernel. I notice the event entry for the ndfc in Kconfig has been removed in 2.6.28. This patch converts the ndfc to a proper OF (OpenFirmware) driver. I can give a working example of the DTS if needed. The patch has been in production use on the PIKA Warp Appliance and is in use by others. The Warp basically boots from NAND, so the ndfc driver is very important to us.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d0fc2eaaf4c56a95f5ed29b6bfb609e19714fc16 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor device bindings" split out a number of device bindings from booting-without-of.txt into separate files. Having them all in one file was a frequent source of merge conflicts. However, in the next merge, 49997d75152b3d23c53b0fa730599f2f74c92c65, there was another conflict. Some of the bindings removed from booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in dts-bindings were kept as well. This patch re-removes "Freescale Display Interface" and "Freescale on board FPGA" and fixes the table of contents.

Second is the config base, this is new.

* [POWERPC] Start removing linux,network-index in favour of aliasesDavid Gibson2008-03-261-16/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach to which ethernet device node. The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the corresponding device trees. This won't break backwards compatiblity, because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is part of the kernel image. The references to linux,network-index are removed from booting-without-of.txt. Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or bootloaders which produce a device tree. By the time the device tree reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.
