Using devices trees on X86

Using devices trees on X86

[Stephen Neuendorffer]

Grant,

OK, here's the current set of patches...  The end goal of which is to be
able to parse a device
tree and generate a set of struct device objects on any architecture,
but specifically X86.
I can't see that much of this is anywhere near
final form, hence the lack of signed-off-by lines.  It does compile on
X86, although it's not
clear that I actually get any devices discovered behind the PCI bus yet.
I'll summarize a couple
of issues, that you can see in somewhat concrete form in the patches:

1) no _ALIGN on x86, which you've already dealt with
2) config OF is currently implemented in the architecture code.  This
should be non-architecture dependent and selected by the arches that
need it.
3) Theres a bunch of support functions that drivers/of requires.  Some
are just stubs and some seem to actually
do something non-trivial (like the SMP affinity mappings).  Probably all
of this should get stubs with weak symbols so that the arches don't have
to do anything special, especially since I expect pushback from adding
this architecture code "Just for device trees".

Comments greatly appreciated, in particular if you have
likely-to-be-easy-to-get-accepted suggestions for 3), or feel like
carefully solving 2) in
a way which doesn't bork the existing of-based arches.

Thanks Stephen.

Agreed.  I've been thinking the same thing.  Just haven't gotten
around to it yet.

Yes.  I expect to slowly push these instances down and get rid of them
before I have a final set of core ARM device tree patches ready for
merging.

:-)

Thanks for the patches.  I'm traveling at the moment, but I'll dig
into them when I get back to Calgary.

See the following patch set.  Parts 1, 2 and 3 could be applied to the
respective architecture trees as well as Grant's tree to aleviate some
conflict problems.  Part 5 could wait until a later time if necessary.
However, this is relatively trivial, so we could just collect ACKs and
put it all in Grant's tree and live with any minor pain.

Having OF in more than one Kconfig file should not cause any problems as
long as they are all the same.

I've got an Ack from David now.  I'll wait for more acks, and then
pull the whole series of 5 into my devicetree-next branch.  It's
certainly less invasive that some of the other changes arch changes
I've taken through my tree.

Yes, certainly.  However, I have a plan to write a series of patches for
PowerPC that may clash some what, so if that is the case, I might ask Ben
to take the one patch as well.  Especially if the conflict turns up in
linux-next :-)

Thanks.
