So, like, the other day Vitaly Bordug mumbled:
That was my first guess as well, but: The aim is yet moving to powerpc not to break existing ppc/ stuff. So if alternatively platform_data may be utilized, all relevant ppc stuff that uses cpm uart should be updated. While doing the driver "platformize" trick, I made it possible to keep legacy behaviour (pd-less), this is not going to afford such a thing. IOW, I don't see much sense in updating ppc/ BSP files, just to keep the right way. It does not look very neat now, but does the job of moving FW and keeping existing stuff sane. If there is better approach envisioned, I'll definitely follow..
And don't forget that the subsequent, follow-up patches will be to _remove_ the 85xx family from arch/ppc as well. The trick right now is simply to get it working in arch/powerpc so that we can move forward there. Worrying about absolute cleanliness in arch/ppc for 85xx shouldn't, in my opinion, be the highest concern. Thanks, jdl
