Notes on consolidating device tree patches

Hi Jeremy,

I've done some consolidation work between our two trees.  Here's the
show-branch of what I started with:

! [test-devicetree] arm/boot/hack: set uImage load address to 0x81000000
 ! [jk/versatile] arm/versatile: probe devices from device tree
--
 + [jk/versatile] arm/versatile: probe devices from device tree
 + [jk/versatile^] arm/versatile: probe via device tree
 + [jk/versatile~2] drivers/amba: probe via device tree
 + [jk/versatile~3] drivers/amba: separate periphid probe logic from
amba_device_register
 + [jk/versatile~4] arm/clkdev: lookup clocks from OF clock providers
 + [jk/versatile~5] arm/icst307: remove icst307_ps_to_vco
 + [jk/versatile~6] arm/icst307: use common struct clk, unify realview
and versatile clocks
 + [jk/versatile~7] arm/realview: use generic struct clk
 + [jk/versatile~8] arm/versatile: remove oscoff from clk_versatile
 + [jk/versatile~9] arm/versatile: use generic struct clk
 + [jk/versatile~10] of/clk: parse fixed clocks
 + [jk/versatile~11] of: add clock providers
 + [jk/versatile~12] Generic support for fixed-rate clocks
 + [jk/versatile~13] Add a common struct clk
 + [jk/versatile~14] arm-dt: add devictree node reference to dev_archdata
 + [jk/versatile~15] arm-dt: unflatten device tree
 + [jk/versatile~16] arm-dt: parse initrd from device tree
 + [jk/versatile~17] arm-dt: probe for platforms via the device tree
 + [jk/versatile~18] arm-dt: reserve bootmem containing flat device tree blob
 + [jk/versatile~19] arm-dt: parse devtree pointer on boot
 + [jk/versatile~20] of/flattree: include linux/of.h
 + [jk/versatile~21] arm-dt: postpone machine detection until
setup_arch with CONFIG_OF
+  [test-devicetree] arm/boot/hack: set uImage load address to 0x81000000
+  [test-devicetree^] arm/devicetree: Don't allow CONFIG_DEBUG_LL with
device tree
+  [test-devicetree~2] arm-dt: unflatten device tree
+  [test-devicetree~3] arm/devicetree: Reserve memory used by dtb blob
+  [test-devicetree~4] arm/devicetree: Allow .dtb to be carried in the
zImage payload
++ [jk/versatile~22] arm-dt: Allow CONFIG_OF on ARM

To start, I move some things around and split stuff out in my branch
to give you a new base point:
[test-devicetree^] Don't allow CONFIG_DEBUG_LL
  - dropped.
  - you merged this into jk/versatile~21

[test-devicetree~2] arm-dt: unflatten device tree
  - Split into new patches:
    - the of_fdt.h #if defined(CONFIG_OF_FLATTREE)
    - the extra error checking
  - You should be able to drop [jk/versatile~15] arm-dt: unflatten device tree

[test-devicetree~3] arm/devicetree: Reserve memory used by dtb blob
  - Almost identical to [jk/versatile~18] arm-dt: reserve bootmem...
  - Would you consider dropping jk/versatile~18 and replacing it with
the diff from test-devicetree~3..jk/versatile~18?  I'd like to have
the base series of patches that enables fdt support in arm to not
change the boot path.  I've attached the diff that I think you'll
need.

[test-devicetree] arm/boot/hack: set uImage load address to 0x81000000
   and
[test-devicetree~4] arm/devicetree: Allow .dtb to be carried in the
zImage payload
  - moved to the end of my queue because you don't want these in your tree.

Also, in your queue, you should be able to:

[jk/versatile~20] of/flattree: include linux/of.h
  - drop; the problem is fixed in next-devicetree
[jk/versatile~18] arm-dt: reserve bootmem containing flat device tree blob
  - replace; as mentioned above
[jk/versatile~14] arm-dt: add devictree node reference to dev_archdata
  - drop; I've picked it up into my tree
  - Although what I'd really like to do here is move the of_node
pointer into the main struct device and eliminate the archdata
entirely.  I'll see if I get time to work on this.

The showbranch now looks like this for me:

* [secretlab/test-devicetree] arm/boot/hack: set uImage load address
to 0x81000000
 ! [jk/versatile] arm/versatile: probe devices from device tree
--
*  [secretlab/test-devicetree] arm/boot/hack: set uImage load address

*  [secretlab/test-devicetree~5] of/flattree: Make
unflatten_device_tree() safe to call from any arch
*  [secretlab/test-devicetree~6] of/flattree: make of_fdt.h safe to
unconditionally include.

    arm/dt: rework device tree memory reservation for early parsing
    
    Jeremy, I believe this is the diff needed to go from my atags parsed
    device tree memory reservation to yours.  I dropped the setup.c hunk
    because of a conflict, so you'll need to add it back.
