    powerpc: Make MPIC honor the "pic-no-reset" device tree property · dfec2202
    Meador Inge 提交于
    This property, defined in the Open PIC binding, tells the kernel not to use
    the reset bit in the global configuration register.  Additionally, its
    presence mandates that only sources which are actually used (i.e. appear in
    the device tree) should have their VECPRI bits initialized.
    
    Although, "pic-no-reset" can be used for the same use cases that
    "protected-sources" is covering, the "protected-sources" implementation was
    left completely intact.  This is a more pragmatic approach as there are
    already several existing systems which use protected sources.  If
    "pic-no-reset" *and* "protected-sources" are both used, however, then
    "pic-no-reset" takes precedence in terms of the init behavior and the
    sanity checks done by protected sources will still take place.
