Hi Geert, my preference would be Finn's patch introducing a m68k arch_setup_pdev_archdata(). It nicely preserves what bus code sets up prior to registering a platform device (important for Zorro devices using platform or mfd devices), and allows overriding by drivers that need it.
Let's go with those for now.
If ever a kernel-wide consensus is reached to move this setup to the generic arch_setup_pdev_archdata(), we can still back out his patch at that time. Finn found one counterexample where absence of DMA mask signaled 'do not use DMA', so I think moving the DMA mask setup to generic code is unlikely to happen any time.
This is the right thing to do in the long run, and I'll spend some time auditing all dma_mask users for the next merge window. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-m68k" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
