Re: [PATCH] Add AMCC Arches 460GT eval board support to platforms/44x

From what I can tell, you don't even need this patch or the defconfig.
Nothing differs at this point from Glacier other than the DTS.  Since
U-Boot is your loader, it should be able to pass the different DTS to a
kernel that supports Cayonlands and have no issues.

...

If you do want to have explicit support for Arches, that's fine.  Look
at how Yosemite is supported.  It just reuses Bamboo.  You could do the
same.

Yes, I like this idea. I'll do this.

quoted

+config 460GT
+	bool
+	select PPC_FPU
+	select IBM_NEW_EMAC_EMAC4
+	select IBM_NEW_EMAC_RGMII
+	select IBM_NEW_EMAC_ZMII
+	select IBM_NEW_EMAC_TAH

I don't see a reason to add this at all.  460EX and 460GT select the
same set of options.

OK. I agree.

Here you would just have:

obj-$(CONFIG_ARCHES) += cayonlands.o

quoted

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/arches.c

b/arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/arches.c
new file mode 100644
index 0000000..6d6aa66

--- /dev/null
+++ b/arch/powerpc/platforms/44x/arches.c

And then you don't need this file at all.  Just add a
"amcc,canyonlands" string to your root node compatible property.

OK. Will update

Thanks,

Victor Gallardo
