Folks,
Apologies to those who have received this notice twice.
I first sent it to the list where it was summarily
denied for size reasons.
I have now posted a tgz file here instead:
http://www.jdl.com/bdt_cleanup.tgz
What follows is my original email content.
OK, for those keeping score over on the U-Boot list, _this_
message is really intended to be sent to the public list. :-)
Here (as noted above) are my diffs against a clone of
http://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.6
as last pulled a couple days ago. (*)
Please consider this a Request For Comments for now. Feel free
to apply it and test it out as well, of course. :-) I'll sign-off
on it when it has ripened some more and gets a nod or two...
These changes relocate almost all of the ppcboot.h definitions
into new files, arc/ppc/syslib/fw_bdt.[ch] and front them
with a new, shim interface in include/asm-ppc/firmware.h.
There is a Kconfig option that allows you to select between
a "bd_t" interface and a non-existant "OF Flat dev tree"
interface. Choose wisely (default) for now. It adds the
new fw_bdt.o file.
Some potential gotchas or points to note:
- As of this patch, no interface to any board should change.
This just isolates the scattered bd_t references to one place.
- On Kumar's advice arch/ppc/boot/simple was totally ignored.
For now; this round. It can be next on the hit parade easily.
It holds the last reference to ppcboot.h still.
- Earlier cut-n-paste of some devices led to me changing a few
files over in 68k land to remove some now-obsolete ppcboot.h
related comments justs for completeness.
- I've compiled uImage using defconfigs for the following boards:
8560_ads cpci690 ash redwood5
8540_ads ads_8272 TQM8260 est8260
rpx8260 bseip mbx mpc834x_sys
ocotea lite5200 hdpu lopec
TQM860L rpxlite radstone_ppc7d walnut
- The file include/asm-ppc/ppcboot.h used to contain a nested
include of linux/types.h that was tacitly used by many files.
In ripping ppcboot.h out of many platform .h files, I've had
to add direct #include <linux/types.h> in several places.
If your board isn't listed above and it looks really broken,
consider if it needs a <linux/types.h>?
Enjoy,
jdl
