From 5f64f73957f6cae3222f97f2599199ee562f7f3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Date: Wed, 1 Jun 2005 17:07:27 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] ppc32/ppc64: cleanup /proc/device-tree This cleans up the /proc/device-tree representation of the Open Firmware device-tree on ppc and ppc64. It does the following things: - Workaround an issue in some Apple device-trees where a property may exist with the same name as a child node of the parent. We now simply "drop" the property instead of creating duplicate entries in /proc with random result... - Do not try to chop off the "@0" at the end of a node name whose unit address is 0. This is not useful, inconsistent, and the code was buggy and didn't always work anyway. - Do not create symlinks for the short name and unit address parts of a node. These were never really used, bloated the memory footprint of the device-tree with useless struct proc_dir_entry and their matching dentry and inode cache bloat. This results in smaller code, smaller memory footprint, and a more accurate view of the tree presented to userland.
