Subject: [PATCH] add platform check to a couple sn2-only drivers
Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2006 14:36:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060728143626.GD27686@sgi.com> (raw)
Non-sn2 boxes occasionally run into problems when they execute module_init
functions for sn2 drivers, if those drivers go off and try to read a
register that doesn't exist, or maybe dereference a variable that isn't
defined for the non-sn2 case.
This patch adds a platform check for the ioc4 and snsc driver init
functions. It's a bit overkill for the ioc4 case, but erring on the
conservative side doesn't hurt.
