Many OCTEON devices have been shipped in products with fixed DTBs. These

upstream drivers.
Therefore some mechanism is necessary to convert legacy naming into
upstream naming. In the first instance this is to support the OCTEON MMC
controller, which is in a later patch of this series.
This patch adds a octeon_handle_legacy_device_tree() function which is
always called from device_tree_init() to fix up the device tree so that
drivers need have no knowledge of the legacy naming or properties.

NAK...

I already sent e-mail on this, but it crossed in flight.

Yeah, unfortunate timing.


Basically, this patch is much more complex than the original code which was just a few lines to check the alternate "legacy" names.

This code is functionally equivalent to the previous version, just located in platform code rather than the driver itself. In terms of LOC it's not much different. Doing it this was does allow future flexibility to change other bindings that are fixed in firmware without having to support each set in the individual drivers. Leaving this patch out will mean having to get any legacy bindings accepted into each driver via their maintainer. But for the moment we're just talking about the MMC driver - if this patch is not accepted then the only way to support legacy devices is with Ulf's signoff of handling both binding versions in the driver.


Also this code is prone to breakage, see below...

For reference, the legacy MMC bindings are as follows. Only the
spi-max-frequency and bus-width properties currently need renaming.

mmc: mmc@1180000002000 {
    compatible = "cavium,octeon-6130-mmc";
    reg = <0x11800 0x00002000 0x0 0x100>,
        <0x11800 0x00000168 0x0 0x20>;
    #address-cells = <1>;
    #size-cells = <0>;
    /* EMM irq, DMA irq */
    interrupts = <1 19>, <0 63>;

    /* The board only has a single MMC slot */
    mmc-slot@2 {
        compatible = "cavium,octeon-6130-mmc-slot";
        reg = <2>;
        voltage-ranges = <3300 3300>;
        spi-max-frequency = <26000000>;
        /* Power on GPIO 8, active high */
        /* power-gpios = <&gpio 8 0>; */
        power-gpios = <&gpio 8 1>;

    /*      spi-max-frequency = <52000000>; */
        /* bus width can be 1, 4 or 8 */
        cavium,bus-max-width = <8>;
    };
    mmc-slot@0 {
        compatible = "cavium,octeon-6130-mmc-slot";
        reg = <0>;
        voltage-ranges = <3300 3300>;
        spi-max-frequency = <26000000>;
        /* non-removable; */
        bus-width = <8>;
        /* bus width can be 1, 4 or 8 */
        cavium,bus-max-width = <8>;
    };
};

/aliases doesn't exist on many boards, so this will likely fail.


OK, well it could be looked up a different way, I just followed the lead of octeon_prune_device_tree() which looks up the nodes this way.

Thanks,
Matt
