2007-07-18Add phy-connection-type to gianfar nodesAndy Fleming
The TSEC/eTSEC automatically detect their PHY interface type, unless the type is RGMII-ID (RGMII with internal delay). In that situation, it just detects RGMII. In order to fix this, we need to pass in rgmii-id if that is the connection type. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com>

2007-06-28[POWERPC] In booting-without-of.txt, clarify that properties must precede ↵David Gibson
subnodes A strict reading of the flattened device tree format defined in booting-without-of.txt does in fact require that all the tags defining properties for a node go before any definitions of subnodes, however it's not particularly emphasised. Although allowing intermingled properties and subnodes would not be ambiguous in meaning, the kernel parser does currently require that properties precede subnodes. Furthermore, keeping this constraint makes life easier for various device tree scanning tools. Therefore, re-emphasise in booting-without-of.txt that this is a strict requirement of the flattened device tree format.

2007-05-02[POWERPC] Document phy-connection-type propertyKim Phillips
Since ucc_geth is being migrated to use the phylib, the existing (undocumented) 'interface' property is being deprecated in favour of 'phy-connection-type'. phy-connection-type is now maintained one-to-one with definitions in include/linux/phy.h, albeit in the form of a string. If not specified, "mii" is assumed. Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

2007-03-16[POWERPC] Update documentation for flat device tree format v17David Gibson
This patch updates booting-without-of.txt to describe version 17 of the flattened device tree format. Version 17 is a small, backwards compatible change from version 16, adding an extra field giving the size of the device tree's structure block. At this time, the kernel has no use for the extra information, however its presence can make life easier for bootloaders or other software manipulating the tree. In addition this patch adds information on the size_dt_strings field of the device tree header, present since version 3 of the flattened tree format, but omitted from the documentation. It also makes changes to consistently refer to versions 16 and 17 as versions 16 and 17 in decimal, rather than version 0x10 which was occasionally used for version 16 previously. Finally, we also add the new field to the definition of the device tree header structure in prom.h Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Acked-by: Jon Loeliger <jdl@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The 'linux,boot-cpu' property is obsolete, so remove it from all of the DTS files and from booting-without-of.txt.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2006-02-01[PATCH] powerpc: Add flattened device tree documentationDavid Gibson
The flattened device tree is the only supported way of booting ARCH=powerpc kernels on non Open Firmware machines. The documentation for the flattened tree format and contents has been discussed on mailing lists and lately has been living in the dtc git tree. Really, it ought to go in the kernel's Documentation directory for maximum visibility.
