[POWERPC] Fix device_is_compatible() const warning

2006-10-25T01:54:24+00:00

Fix a const'ification related warning with device_is_compatible()
and friends related to get_property() not properly having const
on it's input device node argument.

[POWERPC] Minor fix for bootargs property

2006-10-06T11:10:41+00:00

Avoid the use of an uninitialized stack variable when the powerpc device tree
bootargs property is either missing or incorrectly defined.  This also makes
CONFIG_CMDLINE work properly under these conditions.  This change adds a test
for the existence of the bootargs property.

early_init_dt_scan_chosen() tests for a zero length bootargs property in its
CONFIG_CMDLINE processing, but the current implementation of
of_get_flat_dt_prop() doesn't assign a value to the length when no property is
found.  Since an automatic variable is used, a stale value from the stack will
be used in the test.

[POWERPC] Define of_read_ulong helper

2006-09-20T05:09:48+00:00

There are various places where we want to extract an unsigned long
value from a device-tree property that can be 1 or 2 cells in length.
This replaces some open-coded calculations, and one place where we
assumed without checking that properties were the length we wanted,
with a little of_read_ulong() helper.

[POWERPC] Make get_property() return a const void *

2006-07-31T05:55:06+00:00

Previous changes have treated the return values of get_property as
const, so now we can make the actual change to get_property(). There
shouldn't be a need to cast the return values anymore.

We will now get compiler warnings when property values are assigned to
a non-const variable.

If properties need to be updated, there's still the of_find_property
function.

Built for cell_defconfig, chrp32_defconfig, g5_defconfig,
iseries_defconfig, maple_defconfig, pmac32_defconfig, ppc64_defconfig
and pseries_defconfig.

[POWERPC] Constify & voidify get_property()

2006-07-31T05:55:04+00:00

Now that get_property() returns a void *, there's no need to cast its
return value. Also, treat the return value as const, so we can
constify get_property later.

powerpc core changes.

[POWERPC] Add new interrupt mapping core and change platforms to use it

2006-07-03T11:36:01+00:00

This adds the new irq remapper core and removes the old one.  Because
there are some fundamental conflicts with the old code, like the value
of NO_IRQ which I'm now setting to 0 (as per discussions with Linus),
etc..., this commit also changes the relevant platform and driver code
over to use the new remapper (so as not to cause difficulties later
in bisecting).

This patch removes the old pre-parsing of the open firmware interrupt
tree along with all the bogus assumptions it made to try to renumber
interrupts according to the platform. This is all to be handled by the
new code now.

For the pSeries XICS interrupt controller, a single remapper host is
created for the whole machine regardless of how many interrupt
presentation and source controllers are found, and it's set to match
any device node that isn't a 8259.  That works fine on pSeries and
avoids having to deal with some of the complexities of split source
controllers vs. presentation controllers in the pSeries device trees.

The powerpc i8259 PIC driver now always requests the legacy interrupt
range. It also has the feature of being able to match any device node
(including NULL) if passed no device node as an input. That will help
porting over platforms with broken device-trees like Pegasos who don't
have a proper interrupt tree.

[POWERPC] change get_property to return void *

2006-07-02T22:56:33+00:00

Change the get_property() function to return a void *. This allows us
to later remove the cast done in the majority of callers.

and mpc* defconfigs

[POWERPC] Setup RTAS values earlier, to enable rtas_call() earlier

2006-06-28T01:59:48+00:00

Althought RTAS is instantiated when we enter the kernel, we can't actually
call into it until we know its entry point address. Currently we grab that
in rtas_initialize(), however that's quite late in the boot sequence.

To enable rtas_call() earlier, we can grab the RTAS entry etc. values while
we're scanning the flattened device tree. There's existing code to retrieve
the values from /chosen, however we don't store them there anymore, so remove
that code.
