Re: [PATCH v3] cassini: Use local-mac-address prom property for Cassini

[Richard Mortimer <richm@oldelvet.org.uk>]

All,

FYI Sinan Akman has reported that cassini does not compile for x86 any 
longer. Message included below.

Does anyone have suggestions as to the best way to resolve this?

Also are there any other lists that this should be forwarded to?

Regards

Richard

Richard, cassini  doesn't compile now for x86 after :

http://www.spinics.net/lists/sparclinux/msg07607.html

pci_device_to_OF_node is not defined for all archs so
perhaps you are better of leaving CONFIG_SPARC instead
of having CONFIG_OF.

Feel free to forward this to list (did this ever
appear in lmkl or only sparclinux ?).

If you have another patch on that and cc me I can
compile test for you on x86.
