2008-03-26	[POWERPC] Start removing linux,network-index in favour of aliases	David Gibson	1	-1/+2
	This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach to which ethernet device node. The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the corresponding device trees. This won't break backwards compatiblity, because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is part of the kernel image. The references to linux,network-index are removed from booting-without-of.txt. Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or bootloaders which produce a device tree. By the time the device tree reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.

2007-12-23	[POWERPC] 4xx: Rework clock probing in boot wrapper	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-1/+1
	This reworks the boot wrapper library function that probes the chip clocks. Better separate the base function that is used on 440GX,SPe,EP,... from the uart fixups as those need different device-tree path on different processors. Also, rework the function itself based on the arch/ppc code from Eugene Surovegin which I find more readable, and which handles one more bypass case. Also handle the subtle difference between 440EP/EPx and 440SPe/GX, on the former, PerClk is derived from the PLB clock while on the later, it's derived from the OPB.

2007-12-23	[POWERPC] 4xx: Adds decoding of 440SPE memory size to boot wrapper library	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	1	-1/+1
	This adds a function to the bootwrapper 4xx library to decode memory size on 440SPE processors. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
2007-12-11	[POWERPC] Use embedded libfdt in the bootwrapper	David Gibson	1	-1/+1
	This incorporates libfdt (from the source embedded in an earlier commit) into the wrapper.a library used by the bootwrapper. This includes adding a libfdt_env.h file, which the libfdt sources need in order to integrate into the bootwrapper environment, and a libfdt-wrapper.c which provides glue to connect the bootwrapper's abstract device tree callbacks to the libfdt functions. In addition, this changes the various wrapper and platform files to use libfdt functions instead of the older flatdevtree.c library.

2007-09-19	[POWERPC] cuimage for Bamboo board	Josh Boyer	1	-3/+5
	Add a cuboot wrapper for the Bamboo board. Additionally, we enable MAC address fixups for both cuboot and treeboot. This also removes some obsoleted linker declarations that have been moved into ops.h Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
2007-08-20	[POWERPC] Bamboo zImage wrapper	Josh Boyer	1	-0/+45
	Add a bootwrapper for the AMCC 440EP Bamboo Eval board. This also adds a common fixup_clock function for all 440EP(x) chips. Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
