This patch adds localbus and pata nodes to use CF IDE interface
on MPC8349E-mITX boards.

Patch also adds code to probe localbus.

  Board compatible bus?

This is what Documentation/powerpc/booting-without-of.txt suggests
for localbuses. I'm following.

Bleh... that shift again. And this is surely not a good name for a property (where's I/O ports in your case?) -- why not call it "reg-shift" (well, I'd call it "reg-size" or "reg-stride" myself :-)?

1. "shift" because pata_platform using that name. I don't see any
   reason to contrive indirections. ioport-shift is what the whole
   Linux kernel using nowadays, and ioport-shift dts property
   anyway Linux-specific.

It's just a bad name. There's not even I/O ports in this case (and moreover, the *real* I/O mapped device would always have a shift of 0, I bet -- larger strides are for memory mapped devices).

   I'm just following todays' conventions.

   If you feel really bad about that, I think better to fix that in
   the source of the badness -- pata_platform. It's easy, I can do

I only feel really bad about the "ioport" part, I can live with "shift" part. :-)

   that. Would you ack patch that converts whole pata_platform and
   users? Would Paul ack it?

I don't understand -- why the property name should duplicate pata_platform field name? :-O

   Still, is there any hardware that needs not power of 2 stride?

   Not really -- "size" just seems better, aesthetically. :-)

2. "ioport" because shift^Wstride ;-) applies only to the io range
   (yes, it's obvious, but worth open-wording, no?).

   Contrarywise, to memory range.

And btw, I can get rid of ioport-shift at all. And do fixups in
the pata_of_platform driver via .compatible matching. But I don't
want: it feels bad to list every needs-to-fixup board in the common
driver. It also feels not so great creating something like
pata-platform-stride-{1,2,4,...} compatible stuff. Heh.

   I didn't propose neither of that. :-)
   All I want is that "ioport-*" be renamed.

Thanks,

MBR, Sergei
