But it also triggers a testing burden on a bunch of hardware that I don't own. By copying off the known working ppc driver the testing burden is avoided. A subject for later discussion is whether platform bus should even exist when of_platform_bus is in use. I have removed platform_bus for the mpc5200 in my local builds. Removing platform bus exposed a bunch of junk from other platofrms that had inadvertently accumulated into the mpc5200 build. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
