Hi Daniel.

Reading through this patch it looks like LEOON pci support is bolted on top
of what we have rather than trying to integrate it a bit more.

I would like to see something like:

* include/asm/pcic.h intregated in pci_32.h
Do we really want that? I mean drivers that include pci.h does not need to know about pcic.h internals. I think is is quite clear the way it is, pcic.h is one PCI Host controller implementation, the host implementation shouldn't go to the header right? This is similar to LEON_PCI, is a common file for LEON PCI host controllers on the LEON platform. PCIC is common to machines which have PCI on the SUN platform.

* leon specifics added to pci_32.h - with minimal ifdefs
Ok, could do that. Then I propose that I remove pci_leon.h, add some of that stuff into pci_32.h (will still be as many ifdefs as before) and I will create a leon_pci.h similar to pcic.h or add LEON-PCI specific stuff that nowone really wants to know about (leon_pci_info,leon_pci_init), or I add it to leon.h instead.

Dunno abot the rest...

If i find time I will try to come up with a proposal later tonight.

When I looked at this earlier, I was thinking that we might want to
introduce a new KConfig variable, maybe CONFIG_LEON_PCI, to hide all
this stuff behind so we don't have to do any complicated ifdefery or
change any existing ifdefs.
Ok, I will try to add a PCIC and a LEON_PCI config option. Then most ifdefs still will be there but only dependent on one thing: PCIC, LEON_PCI or PCI.

Does all this sound reasonable?

Daniel
