As I've said on the main ARM lists where I've given reasons, I'm against extending this stuff, and it is my intention to remove it completely. It was only added because it was relatively simple and easy to print the information. However, with ARMs attitude of breaking configuration register formats willy nilly, it's just not worth having the additional complexity to try to work out which format we have, and decode that format. For all we know, come the next ARM architecture revision, these registers will have completely changed their format again. So much for providing software with an easy way to determine the parameters of the core. It's just not worth the complexity and effort to try and decode this information for no other purpose than a few printk's. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
