Why is the #ifdef needed?
We don't like putting #ifdef in .c files for good reasons. Can you make
the api check for this work with and without that #ifdef needed?
The #ifdef is needed because this file can be compiled for PowerMac and
m68k Mac. For PowerMac, the MACH_IS_MAC is not defined, so we need the
#ifdef.
We need the MAC_IS_MAC because the same kernel can be used with several
m68k machines, so the init_pmz can be called on a m68k machine without
the zilog device (it's a multi-targets kernel).
You can check it's the good way to do by looking inside:
drivers/video/fbdev/valkyriefb.c +317
drivers/macintosh/adb.c +316
That are two files used by both, mac and pmac.
Why not fix it to work properly like other arch checks are done
I would be happy to do the same.
Put it in a .h file and do the #ifdef there. Why is this "special"?
I don't know.
Do you mean something like:
drivers/tty/serial/pmac_zilog.h
...
#ifndef MACH_IS_MAC
#define MACH_IS_MAC (0)
#endif
...
drivers/tty/serial/pmac_zilog.c
...
static int __init pmz_console_init(void)
{
if (!MACH_IS_MAC)
return -ENODEV;
...
Thanks,
