Linus Torvalds cdfc83075f Merge branch 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus
Pull MIPS updates from Ralf Baechle:
 "The most notable new addition inside this pull request is the support
  for MIPS's latest and greatest core called "inter/proAptiv".  The
  patch series describes this core as follows.

    "The interAptiv is a power-efficient multi-core microprocessor
     for use in system-on-chip (SoC) applications. The interAptiv combines
     a multi-threading pipeline with a coherence manager to deliver improved
     computational throughput and power efficiency. The interAptiv can
     contain one to four MIPS32R3 interAptiv cores, system level
     coherence manager with L2 cache, optional coherent I/O port,
     and optional floating point unit."

  The platform specific patches touch all 3 Broadcom families.  It adds
  support for the new Broadcom/Netlogix XLP9xx Soc, building a common
  BCM63XX SMP kernel for all BCM63XX SoCs regardless of core type/count
  and full gpio button/led descriptions for BCM47xx.

  The rest of the series are cleanups and bug fixes that are MIPS
  generic and consist largely of changes that Imgtec/MIPS had published
  in their linux-mti-3.10.git stable tree.  Random other cleanups and
  patches preparing code to be merged in 3.15"

README

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.

Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.

In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.

Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
EPROM.

In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
and class.
