I'd rather keep the reset driver as is and move SDRAM related macros
into a specific header (include/linux/memory/atmel-sdram.h or
include/soc/atmel/memory.h as you proposed) so that the reset driver
can reference them without including mach headers.
My personal opinion is that it is better to hide the registers/bits from
the reset driver right now as we have two different IPs and the sdram
driver already knows how to make the difference between them.
The reset driver doesn't do anything anymore with these patches. Why
not just remove it altogether?
It does, the reset driver knows about the reset registers.
So the only thing it does it to define a few register and that's it?
It looks like it's a case for a header, not a driver.
The plan is to move the actual reset back to that driver when the
kernel will be able to easily execute code from sram.
Why not go directly for the plan then?
