2011/3/23 Linus Walleij [off-list ref]:
These patches swithches the semantics of the optional AMBA periphid
field from fallback (when hardware ID is not found) to hardcoding
(overriding hardware ID) when used in platform data.
Russell have you had a chance to look at this?
I think 6827/1 and 6828/1 are just normal clean-up, whereas
6829/1 thru 6832/1 is the controversial part, but I'd like to stress
that it's solving a major issue for us, and I know for sure that the
silicon will not be re-spun to solve the issue :-(
I *have* contacted the hardware RTL engineers about it and kindly
asked them to keep periphids in sync in the future.
Yours,
Linus Walleij
