Actually, the mac_scc driver didn't use the bootinfo anyway. For the most part any real hardware driver has addresses hard-coded. It is used by the debug console code in head.S. One thing I noticed is that the bootinfo.h from the kernel just has one tag for SCC, but the one from the emile source tree has two different tags for SCC. It's the second one that the kernel is complaining about. Does emile put in the same thing for both? Only one gets used by the kernel.
Interestingly, the hardware info command in Penguin actually prints both a read base address and a write base address. I didn't look at the source code to see what it does with the info. But clearly it doesn't pass it to the kernel. So unless someone can come up with a use for both tags, I think Laurent's plan is good (i.e. have emile use just the tags in <asm/bootinfo.h>). Finn
