From d1bff9ed3c05859fe4a8d00e51f331f5d45350ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stuart Yoder Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:25:05 -0600 Subject: [POWERPC] Remove interrupt-controller as a property under /chosen Remove interrupt-controller as a valid property under /chosen in the documentation. There is a consensus that an interrupt-controller property does not belong under /chosen. /chosen is specifically for dynamic properties set at runtime.
