      [PATCH] 3/5 powerpc: Add platform functions interpreter · 5b9ca526
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is the platform function interpreter itself along with the backends
      for UniN/U3/U4, mac-io, GPIOs and i2c. It adds the ability to execute
      those do-platform-* scripts in the device-tree (at least for most
      devices for which a backend is provided). This should replace the clock
      spreading hacks properly. It might also have an impact on all sort of
      machines since some of the scripts marked "at init" will now be executed
      on boot (or some other on sleep/wakeup), those will possibly do things
      that the kernel didn't do at all, like setting some values into some i2c
      devices (changing thermal sensor calibration or conversion rate) etc...
      Thus regression testing is MUCH welcome. Also loook for errors in dmesg.
      That's also why I've left rather verbose debugging enabled in this
      version of the patch.
      
      (I do expect some Windtunnel G4s to show some errors as they have an i2c
      clock chip on the PMU bus that uses some primitives that the i2c backend
      doesn't implement yet. I really need users that have one of those
      machine to come back to me so we can get that done right, though the
      errors themselves should be harmless, I suspect the machine might not
      run at full speed).
