[PATCH] ppc44x: Remove PVR_440G* and change usages

From: Tom Rini <hidden>
Date: 2005-03-21 15:27:31

The following patch changes the usages of PVR_440* into strcmp's with
the cpu_name field, and removes the defines altogether.  The Ebony
portion was briefly tested.

While I applaud Tom's quest to eliminate _useless_ PVR defines I think 
this change looks strange.

It substitutes simple and clear (for those who are reading this code) 
check to something more involved without good reason, IMHO.

Also, it adds additional "point of failure" making this code more 
fragile. We never used those CPU ID strings anywhere in the kernel 
code before, people are used to the fact that they don't matter much 
(maybe only for user-mode) and it's possible that during some future 
"cleanup" code will break. One could say that we aren't allowed to 
change such strings because something in user-mode could break, and 
while I agree with that, I don't think it's good argument to _add_ 
additional point where code could break.

While talking with galak today on IRC, he mentioned one of the reason, 
why we may want to use string comparison instead of PVR.

For some chips, e.g. for 8272 family, there is NO way (even if we use 
IMMR[16-31] and REV_NUM in addition to PVR) to detect correctly CPU 
(which I think is pretty lame, but I digress :). For such cases, board 
port can "fixup" CPU name, if this information can be implied by the 
board type/revision/etc.

So, I think having a way to specify/name/detect CPU which is more 
general and even can solve some real problems, is beneficial. 
Therefore, I don't object anymore to such changes :).
