[PATCH] powerpc 8xx: Fixing issue with CONFIG_PIN_TLB

2013-09-11 Thread Christophe Leroy
Activating CONFIG_PIN_TLB is supposed to pin the IMMR and the first three 8Mbytes pages. But the setting of the MD_CTR was missing so as the index is decremented every DTLB update, the pinning of the third 8Mbytes page was overwriting the DTLB entry for IMMR. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy
