The MMU parts use a simple form like: "680x0" or "68060". So modify the names for non-MMU parts to look similar, changing like these examples: MC68000 --> 68000 MC68328 --> 68328 MC68EZ328 --> 68ez328 COLDFIRE(m5206) --> 5206 COLDFIRE(m527x) --> 527x Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Thanks for your patch! Note that this is a user-visible change, and software may rely on the current contents.
Yep, I knew this may be an issue here. A simplistic google search doesn't seem to show anything with specific strings like "COLDFIRE(m5208)" outside of the kernel sources. Of course clever users may have rolled more fancy search strings with regular expressions or the like. So, do you think this is a case of "we must never change them"? Or that we probably shouldn't? Or if we do change them we should be ready to revert if it breaks something? Regards Greg
