Can you explain this patch further. Its not clear exactly from this
commit message why we are doing this.

Sorry about I have a little hurry about it.
The original RapidIO driver suppose there is only one mpc85xx RIO
controller
in system. So, some data structures are defined as mpc85xx_rio
global,
such as 'regs_win', 'dbell_ring', 'msg_tx_ring'. Now, I changed them
to
mport's private members. And you can define multi RIO OF-nodes in dts
file
for multi RapidIO controller in one processor, such as PCI/PCI-Ex
host
controllers
in Freescale's silicon. And the mport operation function declaration
should be changed
to know which RapidIO controller is target.
thanks, this makes a lot of sense and now reviewing the patch will
make some sense to me :)
when we have multiple ports are the device IDs on the ports intended
to be unique only to a port or unique across all ports?
