* ARM: 6953/1: DT: don't try to access physical address zeroNicolas Pitre2011-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | If the DT physical address is zero, this is equivalent to no DT. Especially when the actual RAM physical address is not located at zero, the result of phys_to_virt() would point to la-la-land and crash the kernel, which crash is completely silent this early during boot.

* arm/dt: probe for platforms via the device treeGrant Likely2011-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a dtb is passed to the kernel then the kernel needs to iterate through compiled-in mdescs looking for one that matches and move the dtb data to a safe location before it gets accidentally overwritten by the kernel. This patch creates a new function, setup_machine_fdt() which is analogous to the setup_machine_atags() created in the previous patch. It does all the early setup needed to use a device tree machine description. v5: - Print warning with neither dtb nor atags are passed to the kernel - Fix bug in setting of __machine_arch_type to the selected machine, not just the last machine in the list. Reported-by: Tixy <tixy@yxit.co.uk> - Copy command line directly into boot_command_line instead of cmd_line v4: - Dump some output when a matching machine_desc cannot be found v3: - Added processing of reserved list. - Backed out the v2 change that copied instead of reserved the dtb. dtb is reserved again and the real problem was fixed by using alloc_bootmem_align() for early allocation of RAM for unflattening the tree. - Moved cmd_line and initrd changes to earlier patch to make series bisectable. v2: Changed to save the dtb by copying into an allocated buffer. - Since the dtb will very likely be passed in the first 16k of ram where the interrupt vectors live, memblock_reserve() is insufficient to protect the dtb data.

* arm/dt: Allow CONFIG_OF on ARMGrant Likely2011-05-11
Add some basic empty infrastructure for DT support on ARM. v5: - Fix off-by-one error in size calculation of initrd - Stop mucking with cmd_line, and load command line from dt into boot_command_line instead which matches the behaviour of ATAGS booting v3: - moved cmd_line export and initrd setup to this patch to make the series bisectable. - switched to alloc_bootmem_align() for allocation when unflattening the device tree. memblock_alloc() was not the right interface.
