Other than that, it looks okay to me but I didn't go over it in detail. When you separate this patch into its own email, you should send it to whoever looks after the watchdog drivers, cc the appropriate mailing list, and lmkl and/or linuxppc-embedded. > > > p8 - add mv64x60_setclr_bits() which can be used to set and clear bits > of a mv64x60 register with a single chip register write. Is this really necessary? I have learned that many in the community really hate little routines like this. I have a todo item to get rid of the _set/clr_bits routines and replace them explicit code. > > > p9 - add Radstone PPC7D board support I didn't go through this in great detail but I do have a few comments: > +++ linux-2.6/arch/ppc/boot/simple/misc-radstone_ppc7d.c > +void __attribute__ ((weak)) mv64x60_board_init(void) Don't make this "weak", there is one alread defined as weak that you're replacing. > + /* Map 0xe0000000-0xffffffff early because we need access to SRAM > + * and the ISA memory space (for serial port) here. You mean for accessing the serial port while in the bootwrapper, right? The firmware doesn't put anything out the serial port? If so, there is likely a mapping alread setup for you to use, no? > +++ linux-2.6/arch/ppc/Kconfig Why bother with RADSTONE_DEBUG? Plus I'm told that pr_debug() is the preferred method for this. Why a separate CONFIG_RADSTONE and CONFIG_RADSTONE_PPC7C? You never use CONFIG_RADSTONE. > +++ linux-2.6/arch/ppc/platforms/radstone_ppc7d.c It looks like you only really use the 8250 uart. Is that correct? If so, get rid of the MPSC stuff since its only clutter. > static void __init ppc7d_early_serial_map(void) I don't think you need this as long as you have your STD_SERIAL_PORT_DFNS setup correctly. > TODC_ALLOC(); It doesn't look like you need this since you don't actually use a time-of-day/realtime clock. > DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_HEADER(PCI_VENDOR_ID_AL, 0x1533, ppc7d_fixup_ali1535); You have a lot of pci fixups. Are they all necessary? I noticed a quirk already implemented for the 1533... General note: you have a lot of lines that wrap in an 80 column window. I guess its a personal preference but I find it hard to read. Would you mind breaking them into separate lines? Mark
