Subject: [Qemu-devel] Revert bogus usb-ohci change
Date: Sun, 4 Apr 2010 21:30:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201004042130.23957.paul@codesourcery.com> (raw)

Commit f1698408 "Compile usb-ohci only once" introduces a "be" property to the 
pci-ohci device. The PCI bus is always little-endian, so this is completely 
bogus. A hypothetical big-endian device would actually introduce another 
byteswap.

As discussed previously, if you really want to avoid compiling the device 
multiple times then this needs to be fixed elsewhere. Adding user visible 
properties to devices is definitely not the right solution.

I have reverted this change. If there are other devices that have been hacked 
in the same way then please revert those too.

Paul
