    davinci: Encapsulate SoC-specific data in a structure · 79c3c0b7
    Mark A. Greer 提交于
    Create a structure to encapsulate SoC-specific information.
    This will assist in generalizing code so it can be used by
    different SoCs that have similar hardware but with minor
    differences such as having a different base address.
    
    The idea is that the code for each SoC fills out a structure
    with the correct information.  The board-specific code then
    calls the SoC init routine which in turn will call a common
    init routine that makes a copy of the structure, maps in I/O
    regions, etc.
    
    After initialization, code can get a pointer to the structure
    by calling davinci_get_soc_info().  Eventually, the common
    init routine will make a copy of all of the data pointed to
    by the structure so the original data can be made __init_data.
    That way the data for SoC's that aren't being used won't consume
    memory for the entire life of the kernel.
    
    The structure will be extended in subsequent patches but
    initially, it holds the map_desc structure for any I/O
    regions the SoC/board wants statically mapped.
