Shouldn't that go in the compatible property of the soc node? > - Prioritize board ports in the arch/powerpc/platforms directory to > identify level-1 machines support from the level-2 ones.

I don't think we're too far away from being able to have a catch-all that isn't even soc-type-specific -- the main things that come to mind are instantiating PCI controllers (should be easily fixed) and finding the root IRQ controller (I suppose we could pick a random interrupt controller and follow the interrupt tree to its root, though it'd be more robust if it were explicitly identified in the device tree). -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
