Thanks for reporting Stephen!
I'll fix the bool vs int thing right away. Weird that no other
compilation caught it.
As for the function not used, I'll move all the new code into the
already existing ifndef CONFIG_PPC for now.
Looks like PPC doesn't populate platform devices from DT using the
generic of_platform_default_populate_init() in drivers/of/platform.c.
I tried grepping around, but I don't see clearly where all the devices
are populated from DT for PPC. I'm not familiar with PPC, so if you or
someone else can give me a pointer to how devices are populated in
PPC, that's be helpful. If there's interest in this series for PPC,
I'd be happy to add support to however PPC populates the devices from
DT -- specifically, creating device links for devices as they are
populated.
Thanks,
Saravana
