    [POWERPC] Start removing linux,network-index in favour of aliases · ecc6cd73
    David Gibson 提交于
    This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly
    all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of
    the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach
    to which ethernet device node.
    
    The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the
    corresponding device trees.  This won't break backwards compatiblity,
    because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is
    part of the kernel image.
    
    The references to linux,network-index are removed from
    booting-without-of.txt.  Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack
    applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the
    same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt
    which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or
    bootloaders which produce a device tree.  By the time the device tree
    reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.
