This should be a safe change because endpoints do not have a routing

I think that risk is very low. Assuming that this change brings sysfs

to their intended hierarchy, it has sense to do it now (at relatively

Hi,
I accordance with document MPC8xxRMAD the CPM of MPC8xx includes some

However, it is not real clear if some additional microcode is needed or

Does anyone know any implementation of that DSP functionality with Linux ?

Why? That's pretty much what the bootwrapper does. Our hypervisor has

This rdev should be safe because it is intended for use only by

attached to the same rdev. Therefore rio_global_list_lock will work
here.
