Subject: [PATCH 0/7] Revised Xilinx virtex establish sanity patchset
Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 13:49:58 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1177703413970-git-send-email-grant.likely@secretlab.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11777034052773-git-send-email-grant.likely@secretlab.ca>

Paul, I believe this patch set is ready for merging.  You can also pull
it from the 'virtex-forupstream' branch of my git tree if you prefer:

git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6.git virtex-forupstream

Cheers,
g.

--- original description:

The Virtex support in Linus' tree is a mess.  When I ported the common
devices over to using the platform bus I tried the use the ppc_sys
infrastructure.  ppc_sys is intended for SoCs that have a fixed set of
devices.  It is the *wrong* approach for FPGA support, and I made a
royal mess of things.  This patch set fixes that problem and makes
a number of other changes that make supporting Virtex boards easier.

I do know that changes to arch/ppc are frowned upon at the moment.  However,
4xx support in arch/powerpc is not merged yet, and Virtex support needs
additional work beyond that.  I suspect that arch/ppc support for the
4xx parts is going to need to stay alive for the next 2-3 kernel releases
anyway while arch/powerpc support stablizes.  Getting these patches in
will make it easier to support the Virtex ports while I hack on getting
arch/powerpc stuff figured out.
