This patch adds minimal support for device tree support on x86. It will be passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires atleast boot protocol 2.09. Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the code compile. The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather informations from it which can not be enumerated and have to be hardcoded otherwise. This includes things like - which devices are on this I2C/ SPI bus? - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC? - where could my hpet be?Andres, this patch moves some of the OF defines you added for OLPC from irq.c to prom.c which requires CONFIG_X86_OF to be enabled. A later
Why not simply make prom.c depend on CONFIG_OF? There is no need to have an x86 specific config value for enabling devicetree code.
patch changes irq_create_of_mapping() from returning intspec[0] to actually doing something. Could you please check how of OLPC gets broken and what we could do about it? :) Sebastian _______________________________________________ devicetree-discuss mailing list devicetree-discuss-uLR06cmDAlY/bJ5BZ2RsiQ@public.gmane.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/devicetree-discuss
