This patch (re) introduces support for the CG3 driver on Sun3, and for BW2 on Sun3x. It applies cleanly to both the m68k CVS tree and the vanilla tree. Signed-off-by: Sam Creasey <sammy@xxxxxxxxx>
If you guys want to share driver code with the Sparc port, please do it properly. I am not applying a pile of ifdef's that basically duplicate half of the existing driver. What you can do instead is to build a fake openprom device tree and register those devices with the generic device subsystem, and then the driver will mostly just work out of the box. It should be easy to duplicate the arch/sparc64/kernel/prom.c and of_device.c code you use as well as the driver interfaces in include/asm-sparc64/prom.h and of_device.h This way you don't need to shit all over the drivers adding hardcoded register addresses and ad-hoc probing code. For special behaviors, you can add openprom node properties that the driver can test for at run time to guide behavior, again instead of ifdefs.
