2007-05-02[POWERPC] Document phy-connection-type propertyKim Phillips1-0/+4
Since ucc_geth is being migrated to use the phylib, the existing (undocumented) 'interface' property is being deprecated in favour of 'phy-connection-type'. phy-connection-type is now maintained one-to-one with definitions in include/linux/phy.h, albeit in the form of a string. If not specified, "mii" is assumed. Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-03-21[POWERPC] Document the linux,network-index property.Scott Wood1-0/+13
To allow more robust association of each network device node with an index (such as is used by the firmware or an EEPROM to indicate MAC addresses), a network device's node may specify the index explicitly.

2007-03-16[POWERPC] Update documentation for flat device tree format v17David Gibson1-6/+23
This patch updates booting-without-of.txt to describe version 17 of the flattened device tree format. Version 17 is a small, backwards compatible change from version 16, adding an extra field giving the size of the device tree's structure block. At this time, the kernel has no use for the extra information, however its presence can make life easier for bootloaders or other software manipulating the tree. In addition this patch adds information on the size_dt_strings field of the device tree header, present since version 3 of the flattened tree format, but omitted from the documentation. It also makes changes to consistently refer to versions 16 and 17 as versions 16 and 17 in decimal, rather than version 0x10 which was occasionally used for version 16 previously. Finally, we also add the new field to the definition of the device tree header structure in prom.h Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Acked-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

Remove interrupt-controller as a valid property under /chosen in the documentation.

The 'linux,boot-cpu' property is obsolete, so remove it from all of the DTS files and from booting-without-of.txt. The boot CPU is actually defined in the device tree header, and U-Boot sets that field. The device tree compiler also complains if the property exists.

2007-02-13[POWERPC] mpc5200 device tree bindings refinementGrant Likely1-62/+121
Much needed refinement of mpc5200 device tree binding specifications. Short list: - drop mpc52xx designator; only two supported chips exist, 5200 and 5200b. It's premature to refer to them as '52xx'. - Specify optional 'model' and 'revision' properties in the soc5200 node - Specify reqiured 'cell-index' property to identify between multiple SOC devices of the same type. (Useful for arbitrating shared register access) - Specify optional 'port-number' property for adjusting the logical serial port assignments. - Specify optional 'has-wdt' property for gpt0 node. - Add system-frequency property to soc5200 node Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-0/+5
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2006-02-01[PATCH] powerpc: Add flattened device tree documentationDavid Gibson1-0/+1420
The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc kernels on non Open Firmware machines. The documentation for the flattened tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has been living in the dtc git tree. Really, it ought to go in the kernel's Documentation directory for maximum visibility.

2005-05-18[PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_stateDavid Brownell1-2/+2
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that: - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive; - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing; - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type; - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts; - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace. This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds10-0/+1491
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
