I tried to contact TQ but they seem not to be able to solve my problem. They
suggested that the problem could be in the different endianness used by MPC5200
and SMI501. That problem seems to be corrected in the driver. Anyway, this
endianness problem may come to light if I had any video output. It is possible
to change the endianness of SM501 chip from the u-boot writing a register. I
did it and it made no difference at all. The real problem is still that none
device is initialized or detected even when the Framebuffer driver for SM501
and MFD Driver for SM501 are compiled with the kernel. I checked that platform
driver for both are registered (using some printk output) but their probe
functions are never invoked.
I thought that my problem could be that I don't have initialized the device
within the platform file tqm5200.c. I added the following code (marked with +)
to this file under arch/powerpc/platforms/52xx/tqm5200.c
+static struct resource sm501_resources[] = {
+ [0] = {
+ .start = 0xE3E00000,
+ .end = 0xE3DFFFFF,
+ .flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
+ },
+};
+
+static struct platform_device sm501_device = {
+ .name = "sm501",
+ .id = 0,
+ .num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(sm501_resources),
+ .resource = sm501_resources,
+};
static void __init tqm5200_setup_arch(void)
{
if (ppc_md.progress)
ppc_md.progress("tqm5200_setup_arch()", 0);
/* Some mpc5200 & mpc5200b related configuration */
mpc5200_setup_xlb_arbiter();
/* Map wdt for mpc52xx_restart() */
mpc52xx_map_wdt();
#ifdef CONFIG_PCI
np = of_find_node_by_type(NULL, "pci");
if (np) {
mpc52xx_add_bridge(np);
of_node_put(np);
}
#endif
+
+ platform_device_register(&sm501_device);
+
}
I got this idea from the configuration files from other platforms, but I still
need to find out how exactly "resources" must be defined. Anybody knows
wheather am I pointing in the right direction and this makes any sense?
As far as I understand now (and I may be terribly wrong), once that SM501 MFD
and Framebuffer drivers are registered, I need to tell the kernel where to
find the device in the local bus. Is it right?
Thanks in advance,
Pedro.
