Re: Kernel 2.6.11 SERIAL_PORT_DFNS broken in MPC8540_ADS

Ahh, this is because we dont build the boot code for 85xx.  Since the=20
only bootloader I'm aware of is u-boot, we do the following:

$ make uImage

Hello, Kumar,

I guess you are the right person to help me with the MPC85xx devices
 and platforms.
 Maybe you remember that I use a MPC8540 on the Board from Microsys.
 (www.microsys.de).

The Problem: 2.6.11 (as well as 2.6.11-rc4) breaks due to a
 missing SERIAL_PORT_DFNS for mpc8540_ads in ns16550:

root@ecam:/share/kernel/linux$ make

Well, I see that you try to get rid of the mess... but I still
 didn't understand all your changes and the different flavors of
 the platforms. (Uses the SBC8560 non-std. serial ports on external
 interrupts? But all the others are 'normal' MPC85xx_DUART types?)

STD_SERIAL_PORT_DFNS are also missing... so, how can I tell that
 I want to use the same as I did in 2.6.10? Can I use STD_UART_OP?
Or is it deprecated to use an extra define if I don't have any
 special non std. hardware.

What is the best way for me to integrate my board (which will be used
 in another system with some more PCI devices not part of the Microsys
 platform) into your platform / device structures?

Currently, only minor changes were necessary to get 2.6.10 mpc8540ads
 working with my board. I needed to change only
 the PHY addresses (ids) on the FECs)
 and the PCI Interrupt routing (IDSEL -> IRQ ABCD)
 as they are wired up slightly different.



Best greets,
