Hi, Currently there are multiple mechanisms for identifying the si revisions. Most places the comparison is against omap_rev() as a whole number. Example: arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-3430sdp.c:695: if (omap_rev() > OMAP3430_REV_ES1_0) arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-3430sdp.c:728: if (omap_rev() > OMAP3430_REV_ES1_0) Then, there are custom macros. Example (cpu.h): #define CHIP_GE_OMAP3430ES3_1 (CHIP_IS_OMAP3430ES3_1) #define CHIP_GE_OMAP3430ES3 (CHIP_IS_OMAP3430ES3_0 | \ CHIP_GE_OMAP3430ES3_1) #define CHIP_GE_OMAP3430ES2 (CHIP_IS_OMAP3430ES2 | \ CHIP_GE_OMAP3430ES3) The problem with comparing against a whole number is that comparison is invalid for another processor series. E.g. OMAP3430 and OMAP3517. Here, I am proposing a common mechanism to identify the si revision; that focuses on the revision bits alone. (See code below) The usage would then be (example): if (omap_rev() > OMAP3430_REV_ES1_0) To if (cpu_is_omap34xx() && OMAP_REV_GT(OMAP_ES_1_0) Though I have not looked at the OMAP1 directory, I am assuming similar case there. Since there aren't any new devices in the OMAP1 category, this may not appear as a need. But consistency could help. Few items that I feel need to be looked at: - Possible differences in the MASK defined for Si revision. Irrespective of (possible) difference in the HW, the bits in 'omap_revision' can be same. - How to phase in the change - one shot OR in steps. I am not sending this as patch, for now; just to get the discussion started.
