Hi all,
This is v3. The only objection I can imagine is about "fsl,device-id".
Though in the v2 nobody complained, thus it's stayed intact.
If you want to, complain now. I'll give up and will remove it. ;-)
Changelog:
v2 -> v3
o Device tree:
- completely removed mmc node;
- removed pio-handles and pio-maps.
o board file:
- Instead of par_io_of_config(), now par_io_config_pin() used to
configure GPIO pins, which does not require device tree node.
v1 -> v2
o Device tree:
- cosmetic cleanups (@01 -> @1);
- device-id renamed to fsl,device-id;
- removed max-chipselect and sysclk properties from spi node;
- removed chipselect property from mmc node, now reg property
used for this purpose, thereby address-cells and size-cells
added to the spi node;
- other non-mandatory (device-id, device_type, compatible, ...)
properties removed from mmc node, today board file is using
of_find_node_by_name(), instead of of_find_compatible_node();
- "qe" mode renamed to "cpu-qe".
o board file <-> fsl_soc interaction
- fsl_soc no longer scans for SPI nodes in the arch initcall.
Also it's no longer exports any global variables. Instead, it's
export fsl_spi_init function now, which accepts pointer to the
fsl_spi_board_info structure;
- board file fills fsl_spi_board_info structure and issues
fsl_spi_init(), which register SPI devices and SPI board infos.
Various sanity checks also perfromed.
I'd want to note that if spi_mpc83xx will be converted to
of_platform_driver then the scheme described above will not
work anymore, and I'll have to revert back ugly hacks:
global variables for activate/deactivate_cs functions. I see
no other options.
Thanks,

mmc_spi already tested to work. When it will hit mainline
the only change that will be needed is replacing "spidev"
by "mmc_spi".

Hrm... Freescale is using these 'fsl,device-id' properties, I'm
guessing they're basically the same thing as the 'cell-index' used in
the EMAC binding.
We should co-ordinate better on this, if it's to become a
convention...

Do we really need a struct, can we not just pass the 4 params as args
to the function?
May need to a typedef to linux/fsl_device.h for the chipselect call
back.

:), here's my complaint for it.
We should just use the physical address of the bus register base as
the id. We do the same thing for the MII phy bus driver for gianfar.

That means we shouldn't coordinate on this, right?

That's the wrong way around -- a driver (or platform code, same
thing) isn't using "compatible", while it should, so you remove
"compatible"?

Heh. Either one is kind of ugly, I'll grant you.
But, many SoCs do have a notion of device "number", which is relevant
for programming other general control registers in places. We need to
encode it somehow, and it would be good to have a consistent way of
doing it.

I'm not convinced there isn't a more direct way to represent
the relevant relationships.
Either way, we don't have enough experience with this stuff
yet to know what works well and what doesn't (at least, I
don't, and I haven't seen any evidence that others do); so
I'd prefer to keep this in per-device bindings for now; it
should be there anyhow, but once we do have experience with
it we could do some recommendation.

Well of course it will remain in the per-device bindings. But just
because these are in different per-device bindings doesn't mean we
can't *try* to use consistent property names for similar things...

Sure, if those properties do exactly the same thing, identical
names are a good thing. Until we're reasonably certain that this
is a good way to do things I'd rather people experiment a bit
instead of all cluster around a random thing that would be labeled
"de facto standard".
