There was a few patches recently that touched arch/sparc/prom/*
This triggered me to look up why sparc and sparc64 differed
so much in their low-level prom functions.
And it was obvious that the older sparcs implementes the
ROMVEC interface (I never found a spec for this).
Where newer sparcs implements IEEE 1275.
While looking through the code I noticed that
several functions/files was unused.
I used "git grep" in the kernel tree to check - and
I have sucessfully build a sparc kernel with
the patches applied.
Note: focus on sparc (not sparc64) as this is what I
have running now.
Patches are on top of sparc-next-2.6.git
