34df9f69a4 powerpc/5200: update device tree binding documentation
This patch updates the mpc5200 binding documentation to match
actual usage conventions, to remove incorrect information, and
to remove topics which are more thoroughly described elsewhere.

a808ad3b0d [MTD] [NAND] ndfc driver
The current ndfc driver only compiles under arch/ppc. This arch was
removed from the kernel. I notice the event entry for the ndfc in
Kconfig has been removed in 2.6.28.

This patch converts the ndfc to a proper OF (OpenFirmware) driver. I
can give a working example of the DTS if needed.

The patch has been in production use on the PIKA Warp Appliance and is
in use by others. The Warp basically boots from NAND, so the ndfc driver
is very important to us.

94409d6e10 powerpc: Add device tree bindings for BCSR GPIO banks
The patch adds bindings for BCSR GPIO banks, the bindings are used to
describe particular BCSR registers that act as simple GPIO controllers.
These GPIO banks might control power switches, SPI chip-selects, LEDs,
etc.

While at it, also fix "length" spelling error in the PIXIS FPGA
bindings.

ec5d7657f7 powerpc: Repair device bindings documentation
Commit d0fc2eaaf4 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor
device bindings" split out a number of device bindings from
booting-without-of.txt into separate files.  Having them all in one file
was a frequent source of merge conflicts.

However, in the next merge, 49997d7515, there
was another conflict.  Some of the bindings removed from
booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in
dts-bindings were kept as well.

This patch re-removes "Freescale Display Interface" and "Freescale on board
FPGA" and fixes the table of contents.

5b70a09705 powerpc: 83xx: pci: Remove need for get_immrbase from mpc83xx_add_bridge.
Modify mpc83xx_add_bridge to get config space register base address from
the device tree instead of immr + hardcoded offset.

83xx pci nodes have this change:
    register properties now contain two address length tuples:
	First is the pci bridge register base, this has always been there.
	Second is the config base, this is new.

This is documented in dts-bindings/fsl/83xx-512x-pci.txt

The changes accomplish these things:
    mpc83xx_add_bridge no longer needs to call get_immrbase
    it uses hard coded addresses if the second register value is missing

83ff9dcf37 powerpc/sysdev: implement FSL GTM support
GTM stands for General-purpose Timers Module and able to generate
timer{1,2,3,4} interrupts. These timers are used by the drivers that
need time precise interrupts (like for USB transactions scheduling for
the Freescale USB Host controller as found in some QE and CPM chips),
or these timers could be used as wakeup events from the CPU deep-sleep
mode.

Things unimplemented:
1. Cascaded (32 bit) timers (1-2, 3-4).
   This is straightforward to implement when needed, two timers should
   be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate.
2. Super-cascaded (64 bit) timers (1-2-3-4).
   This is also straightforward to implement when needed, all timers

9b53a9e28a fbdev: powerpc: driver for Freescale 8610 and 5121 DIU
The following features are supported:
plane 0 works as a regular frame buffer, can be accessed by /dev/fb0
plane 1 has two AOIs (area of interest), can be accessed by /dev/fb1 and /dev/fb2
plane 2 has two AOIs, can be accessed by /dev/fb3 and /dev/fb4
Special ioctls support AOIs

All /dev/fb* can be used as regular frame buffer devices, except hardware
change can only be made through /dev/fb0.  Changing pixel clock has no effect
on other fbs.

Limitation of usage of AOIs:
AOIs on the same plane can not be horizonally overlapped
AOIs have horizonal order, i.e. AOI0 should be always on top of AOI1
AOIs can not beyond phisical display area. Application should check AOI geometry
before changing physical resolution on /dev/fb0

required command line parameters to preallocate memory for frame buffer diufb.

optional command line parameters to set modes and monitor
video=fslfb:[resolution][,bpp][,monitor]
Syntax:

Resolution
xres x yres-bpp@refresh_rate, the -bpp and @refresh_rate are optional
eg, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1280x1024-32, 1280x1024@60, 1280x1024-32@60, 1280x480-32@60

Bpp
bpp=32, bpp=24, or bpp=16

Monitor
monitor=0, monitor=1, monitor=2
0 is DVI
1 is Single link LVDS
2 is Double link LVDS

Note: switching monitor is a board feather, not DIU feather. MPC8610HPCD has three
monitor ports to swtich to. MPC5121ADS doesn't have additional monitor port. So switching
monirot port for MPC5121ADS has no effect.

If compiled as a module, it takes pamameters mode, bpp, monitor with the same syntax above.

This implements support for the GPIO LIB API.  Two calls are still
unimplemented though: irq_to_gpio and gpio_to_irq.

ecc6cd73b7 [POWERPC] Start removing linux,network-index in favour of aliases
This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly
all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of
the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach
to which ethernet device node.

The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the
corresponding device trees.  This won't break backwards compatiblity,
because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is
part of the kernel image.

The references to linux,network-index are removed from
booting-without-of.txt.  Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack
applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the
same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt
which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or
bootloaders which produce a device tree.  By the time the device tree
reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.
