Scott Wood 96fca1dea8 [POWERPC] Document local bus nodes in the device tree, and update cuboot-pq2.
The localbus node is used to describe devices that are connected via a chip
select or similar mechanism.  The advantages over placing the devices under
the root node are that it can be probed without probing other random things
under the root, and that the description of which chip select a given device
uses can be used to set up mappings if the firmware failed to do so in a
useful manner.

cuboot-pq2 is updated to match the binding; previously, it called itself
chipselect rather than localbus, and used phandle linkage between the
actual bus node and the control node (the current agreement is to simply use
the fully-qualified address of the control registers, and ignore the overlap
with the IMMR node).

Scott Wood e631ae3b16 [POWERPC] Introduce new CPM device bindings.
This introduces a new device binding for the CPM and other devices on
these boards.  Some of the changes include:

1. Proper namespace scoping for Freescale compatibles and properties.

2. Use compatible rather than things like device_type and model
to determine which particular variant of a device is present.

3. Give the drivers the relevant CPM command word directly, rather than
requiring it to have a lookup table based on device-id, SCC v. SMC, and
CPM version.

4. Specify the CPCR and the usable DPRAM region in the CPM's reg property.

Boards that do not require the legacy bindings should select
CONFIG_PPC_CPM_NEW_BINDING to enable the of_platform CPM devices. Once
all existing boards are converted and tested, the config option can
become default y to prevent new boards from using the old model.  Once
arch/ppc is gone, the config option can be removed altogether.

David Gibson 2099172d61 [POWERPC] Document and implement an improved flash device binding for powerpc
This replaces the binding for flash chips in booting-without-of.txt
with an clarified and improved version.  It also makes
drivers/mtd/maps/physmap_of.c recognize this new binding.  Finally it
revises the Ebony device tree source to use the new binding as an
example.

Andy Fleming cc65185d40 Add phy-connection-type to gianfar nodes
The TSEC/eTSEC automatically detect their PHY interface type, unless
the type is RGMII-ID (RGMII with internal delay).  In that situation,
it just detects RGMII.  In order to fix this, we need to pass in rgmii-id
if that is the connection type.

David Gibson eff2ebd207 [POWERPC] In booting-without-of.txt, clarify that properties must precede subnodes
A strict reading of the flattened device tree format defined in
booting-without-of.txt does in fact require that all the tags defining
properties for a node go before any definitions of subnodes, however
it's not particularly emphasised.  Although allowing intermingled
properties and subnodes would not be ambiguous in meaning, the kernel
parser does currently require that properties precede subnodes.
Furthermore, keeping this constraint makes life easier for various
device tree scanning tools.

Therefore, re-emphasise in booting-without-of.txt that this is a
strict requirement of the flattened device tree format.

David Gibson 0e0293c898 [POWERPC] Update documentation for flat device tree format v17
This patch updates booting-without-of.txt to describe version 17 of
the flattened device tree format.  Version 17 is a small, backwards
compatible change from version 16, adding an extra field giving the
size of the device tree's structure block.  At this time, the kernel
has no use for the extra information, however its presence can make
life easier for bootloaders or other software manipulating the tree.

In addition this patch adds information on the size_dt_strings field
of the device tree header, present since version 3 of the flattened
tree format, but omitted from the documentation.  It also makes
changes to consistently refer to versions 16 and 17 as versions 16 and
17 in decimal, rather than version 0x10 which was occasionally used
for version 16 previously.

Finally, we also add the new field to the definition of the device
tree header structure in prom.h

  It's premature to refer to them as '52xx'.
- Specify optional 'model' and 'revision' properties in the soc5200 node
- Specify reqiured 'cell-index' property to identify between multiple SOC
  devices of the same type.  (Useful for arbitrating shared register access)
- Specify optional 'port-number' property for adjusting the logical serial
  port assignments.
- Specify optional 'has-wdt' property for gpt0 node.

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

David Brownell 0b405a0f7e [PATCH] Driver Core: remove driver model detach_state
The driver model has a "detach_state" mechanism that:

 - Has never been used by any in-kernel drive;
 - Is superfluous, since driver remove() methods can do the same thing;
 - Became buggy when the suspend() parameter changed semantics and type;
 - Could self-deadlock when called from certain suspend contexts;
 - Is effectively wasted documentation, object code, and headspace.

This removes that "detach_state" mechanism; net code shrink, as well
as a per-device saving in the driver model and sysfs.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
