Nah, keep them in. It's not like it was bloating the binary anyway :)
* struct mpc52xx_intr; Was used before in platform support code to set the IRQ type of external IRQ (level/irq) ... but that can be done with set_irq_type. So can be safetly moved to a local mpc52xx_pic.h
Yup.
* struct mpc52xx_rtc; Was used before in some common code. When the bootloader didn't pass the bus frequency, we computed it and the rtc was used to do that. Now, with device tree, no need for that anymore. So can be safely removed.
Sounds good.
* struct mpc52xx_gpio; * struct mpc52xx_gpio_wkup; Port config (pin multiplexing) is in those registers so they should stay there. This is used by several driver and platform code. Beside custom driver could use gpio for different purpose ...
Yup, though beware of concurrent access to GPIO registers... we might want a bit of common code with a spinlock in it to "wrap" accesses to them.
It could be placed in a include/asm-powerpc/mpc52xx_gpio.h but that would just make one more file in include/asm-powerpc so it doesn't make much sens imho. It should just stay there.
Yeah, leave it there.
* struct mpc52xx_xlb; * struct mpc52xx_cdm; * struct mpc52xx_sdma; Used at several place and should really stay there.
No need to be too anal about removing things from .h files. Ben.
