[PATCH] Include support for physmap driver in mpc8xx setup...

[David Jander]

Hi,

I'd like to hear comments about this.
I am working with a fairly recent denx kernel tree (linuxppc_2_4_devel) and=
=20
have noticed that apparently support for physmap MTD mapping driver is=20
missing. Since physmap.c version 1.29 on, flash start address, size and=20
buswidth have to be setup by the board support package, but mpc8xx uses a=20
centralized .c file (arch/ppc/m8xx_setup.c) and include-files from=20
arch/platforms/*, so there is no way of specifying flash geometry.
I suggest something like this to solve the problem. If there is a better pl=
ace=20
to put this, please let me know.
