Commit 2101e533f41a ("bcma: register bcma as device tree driver")
introduces a hard dependency on OF_ADDRESS into the bcma driver.
OF_ADDRESS is specifically disabled for the sparc architecture.
This results in the following error when building sparc64:allmodconfig.
Does this mean on sparc (using allmodconfig) you will get CONFIG_OF and
!CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS? Does that makes sense?
Is CONFIG_OF is used on sparc to access OpenBoot information?
I have no idea. All I know is that the driver doesn't build anymore with OF
enabled and OF_ADDRESS disabled.
Device tree support in bcma is only needed on some SoC, when this is
used on a PCIe card it is not needed.
I would just deactivate the parts that are using device tree in bcma
when it is not available. I will send a patch after having something to eat.
Devicetree dependency is already covered with #ifdef CONFIG_OF. Problem is
that it really needs #ifdef CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS. Though even that might be
better than my patch, since it would at least build the driver on sparc
as it used to do.
Is there a better method which is compatible with SPARC than using
of_translate_address() to get the reg address and also take the ranges
attribute of the bus into account?
No idea, sorry. Can you by any chance use pcie device information
instead of depending on devicetree data ?
Device tree is not used for PCIe devices in bcma. We only use it when
bcma is used for the system bus on some Broadcom SoCs, currently there
is no plan to use device tree for PCIe devices in bcma. I think bcma is
only used on wifi cards connected via PCIe on Sparc systems.
When we mainlined I verified the brcmsmac was working on a sparc system.
However, at that time we were not using BCMA. I do not recall whether or
not we tested on sparc with BCMA support. I might give it a spin again.
