[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers

2006-03-28T12:15:54+00:00

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
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

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.

[PATCH] powerpc: trivial: modify comments to refer to new location of files

2006-02-10T05:53:51+00:00

This patch removes all self references and fixes references to files
in the now defunct arch/ppc64 tree.  I think this accomplises
everything wanted, though there might be a few references I missed.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add flattened device tree documentation

2006-02-01T16:53:14+00:00

The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc
kernels on non Open Firmware machines.  The documentation for the flattened
tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has
been living in the dtc git tree.  Really, it ought to go in the kernel's
Documentation directory for maximum visibility.

[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"

2006-01-05T00:18:08+00:00

Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling
real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports
the state to userspace and generates events.
