86xx: e600 and cputable.c

[Régis Odeyé]

Hi,

On our board based on 8641D, cat /proc/cpuinfo gives:
-bash-3.2# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor       : 0
cpu             : 7448, altivec supported
clock           : 1000.000000MHz
revision        : 0.2 (pvr 8004 0202)
bogomips        : 199.68

processor       : 1
cpu             : 7448, altivec supported
clock           : 1000.000000MHz
revision        : 0.2 (pvr 8004 0202)
bogomips        : 199.68

total bogomips  : 399.36
timebase        : 100000000
platform        : VM6250
Vendor          : Kontron Modular Computers
Machine         : VM6250
SVR             : 0x80900121
Memory          : 1024 MB

Is there a plan to deal with e600 core as it is done for e500 in 
cputable.c to be able to discriminate "classic" ppc against freescale 
cores ?
Already a patch ?

Regards.

what kernel version.  I believe this is fixed:

commit a501d8f30e4fcca563e4ee462be00f96e51181d5

     powerpc: Fix major revision number for Freescale cores

     Some 74xx cores by Freescale are using the configuration field =20
instead
     of the major revision field for their revision number.  This =20
corrects
     the wrong behaviour for those ppc cores including my one.
