powerpc/85xx: use the BRx registers to enable indirect mode on the P1022DS
In order to enable the DIU video controller on the P1022DS, the FPGA needs to be switched to "indirect mode", where the localbus is disabled and the FPGA is accessed via writes to localbus chip select signals CS0 and CS1. To obtain the address of CS0 and CS1, the platform driver uses an "indirect pixis mode" device tree node. This node assumes that the localbus 'ranges' property is sorted in chip-select order. That is, reg value 0 maps to CS0, reg value 1 maps to CS1, etc. This is how the 'ranges' property is supposed to be arranged. Unfortunately, the 'ranges' property is often mis-arranged, and not just on the P1022DS. Linux normally does not care, since it does not program the localbus. But the indirect-mode code on the P1022DS does care. The "proper" fix is to have U-Boot fix the 'ranges' property, but this would be too cumbersome. The names and 'reg' properties of all the localbus devices would also need to be updated, and determining which localbus device maps to which chip select is board-specific. Instead, we determine the CS0/CS1 base addresses the same way that U-boot does -- by reading the BRx registers directly and mapping them to physical addresses. This code is simpler and more reliable, and it does not require a U-boot or device tree change. Since the indirect pixis device tree node is no longer needed, the node is deleted from the DTS.
