[GIT PULL] at91: fixes for 3.9-rc #2

[Nicolas Ferre]

Arnd, Olof,

Another "fixes" pull-request for AT91 on top of material that you have already
taken. Fixes are manly typos but the bad node declaration and some misspelling
can cause confusion.

The following changes since commit 0ed66befaae893e82c9f016238282d73ef9fd6c7:

  ARM: at91: fix infinite loop in at91_irq_suspend/resume (2013-03-14 09:37:55 +0100)

  ARM: at91: Fix typo in restart code panic message (2013-03-26 11:00:02 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Little fixes mainly related to at91sam9x5 DT.
One typo is the only modification in C code.

Hi Nicolas,

I'd prefer to take only fixes for serious bugs into 3.9 now, since I have
already sent the fixes for -rc5. As far as I can tell, the macb node patch
is the only one that falls into that category, but for that one, I'd
prefer if it could be redone in a simpler way, by replacing

+       ahb {
+               apb {
+                       macb0: ethernet@f802c000 {
+                               phy-mode = "rmii";
+                               status = "okay";
+                       };
+               };
+       };


with

	@macb0 {
		phy-mode = "rmii";
		status = "okay";
	}

as there is no need to provide the full path when you already have
a label for the device.

Yes, fine, I stack them for 3.10 then.

Indeed, at first sight its looks like a nice solution. But I wonder if
we add several nodes in this kind of .dtsi files, we may end up with
mess between APB peripherals and board specific ones like leds, NAND, etc.
Moreover, the plain and full naming of the node makes it identifiable
without doubts, even someone not completely familiar with DT.

I slightly prefer to keep it like this, but I can still change my mind ;-)

If you don't want to use the labels, it's probably better to drop from
the dtsi files. I think you can also write 

ahb/apb/ethernet@802c000 {
	phy-mode = "rmii";
        status = "okay";
};

although I think most people prefer the labels, and I have not tried
the above.

Back to the bug fix, I think we can have a simpler version for 3.9
if you just mark the ethernet node as "disabled" in the 
at91sam9g15.dtsi file, and then do the patch to change the default
in an add-on patch for 3.10.

It will not work, the at91sam9g15.dtsi is included before the buggy
at91sam9x5ek.dtsi in the board .dts file.

Modifying only the at91sam9g15ek.dts and disabling it there will create
an awful mess:
macb0:
at91sam9x5.dtsi: status = "disabled";
at91sam9x5ek.dtsi: status = "okay";   <<-- bug!
at91sam9g15ek.dts: status = "disabled"; <<-- fix?

If it is too late for this kernel revision, I would prefer to postpone
this modification and tag it for "stable" than have to deal with this
issue twice...
