My words. ;-) See http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-August/040685.html Also, see how it was made initially: http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-August/040440.html par_io was in the device tree. But Kumar and Segher convinced me to not do that. > So if Anton is going to break that pattern, we should be > talking about moving all that code into U-boot, [...] To my personal taste that's bad idea. In that scheme, I need to upgrade bootloader to use such a little thing as SPI from the kernel. I expect very few things from the bootloader: setup memory controller, copy kernel from the source (flash, ethernet, rs232, ide, sata, ...) into the RAM and boot it. Everything else from the bootloader side is profusion. p.s.
