Subject: Disable old EMAC driver in arch/powerpc
Date: Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:27:57 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070628012757.GE15298@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
The EMAC driver, in drivers/net/ibm_emac, for the embedded Ethernet
MAC found in PowerPC 4xx embedded chips is not suitable for
arch/powerpc. It will not build because it relies on the old arch/ppc
OCP mechanism. BenH has a new, device-tree aware version of the
driver which will work in arch/powerpc, but until it's merged, this
patch will disable the old, non-building version.
