Revert "dt: add of_alias_scan and of_alias_get_id"

2011-08-04T10:26:24Z

This reverts commit 750f463a749e28464151ad26938d11b07b1c43cb. of_alias_* still needs work to be generalized for 'promtree' dt platforms, and to no implicitly create entries for available ids. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

dt: add of_alias_scan and of_alias_get_id

2011-08-03T12:02:31Z

The patch adds function of_alias_scan to populate a global lookup table with the properties of 'aliases' node and function of_alias_get_id for drivers to find alias id from the lookup table. Signed-off-by: Shawn Guo [grant.likely: add locking and rework parse loop] Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

of: constify property name parameters for helper functions

2011-08-02T15:50:47Z

The helper functions for reading u32 integers, u32 arrays and strings should have the property name as a const pointer. Cc: Grant Likely Signed-off-by: Jamie Iles Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

dt: add helper function to read u32 arrays

2011-07-06T20:58:09Z

Rework of_property_read_u32 to read an array of values. Then of_property_read_u32 becomes an inline with array size of 1. Also make struct device_node ptr const. Signed-off-by: Rob Herring Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

dt: add 'const' for of_property_read_string parameter **out_string

2011-07-04T05:47:22Z

The existing dt codes usually call of_get_property to get a string property and save it as a 'const char *'. The patch adds'const' for of_property_read_string parameter **out_string to make the converting of existing code a little easier. Signed-off-by: Shawn Guo Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

dt: add helper functions to read u32 and string property values

2011-06-30T19:02:10Z

Add helper functions to retrieve unsigned integer and string property values from properties of a device node. These helper functions can be used to lookup a property in a device node, perform error checking and read the property value.

dt: protect against NULL matches passed to of_match_node()

2011-03-23T20:55:55Z

There are a few use cases where it is convenient to pass NULL to of_match_node() and have it fail gracefully. The patch adds a null check to the beginning so taht it does so. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

of: use __be32 types for big-endian device tree data

2010-10-13T03:58:42Z

Use the sparse annotations so we can keep track of endianness. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

of: Fix phandle endian issues

2010-07-24T22:51:52Z

The flat tree code wasn't fixing the endianness on phandle values when unflattening the tree, and the code in drivers/of wasn't always doing a be32_to_cpu before trying to dereference the phandle values. This patch fixes them. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

of: refactor of_modalias_node() and remove explicit match table.

2010-07-05T22:14:52Z

This patch tightens up the behaviour of of_modalias_node() to be more predicatable and to eliminate the explicit of_modalias_tablep[] that is currently used to override the first entry in the compatible list of a device. The override table was needed originally because spi and i2c drivers had no way to do of-style matching. Now that all devices can have an of_node pointer, and all drivers can have an of_match_table, the explicit override table is no longer needed because each driver can specify its own OF-style match data. The mpc8349emitx-mcu driver is modified to explicitly specify the correct device to bind against. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely
