Fair enough. I expected some... erm.. "pushback". As I'd rather not fork, I'll look into the faking openprom and see how close it gets me.
Seeing as this came up for sun3/sun3x support, I would like to point to a similar situation for mac68k support. The macio bus is currently based on of_device and company, which means faking openfirmware to some degree. Perhaps we could share code on this? I don't know if the powerpc and sparc code are similar enough to have an exact shared version that would make everyone happy, but it might be worth investigating to save all of us some pain. A quick look at the sparc of_device.c reminds me a lot of the ppc version, but I don't know how deep the similarity goes without some time spent. Perhaps someone else knows the history?
