Hey Anton.
I won't make any comment on what Linux should do with an older version of
u-boot.
However, just to let you know, there are a couple of patches to do a more modern
fdt on 8xx- sent to the u-boot list in the last <= ~ 10 days.
Using those patches - which incorporate the changes suggested by Scott re:
get_tbclk()- the timebase-frequency field is indeed stuffed with u-boot's
get_tbclk(); - see below.
u-boot/cpu/mpc8xx/fdt.c
void ft_cpu_setup(void *blob, bd_t *bd)
{
do_fixup_by_prop_u32(blob, "device_type", "cpu", 4,
"timebase-frequency", get_tbclk(), 1);
do_fixup_by_prop_u32(blob, "device_type", "cpu", 4,
"bus-frequency", bd->bi_busfreq, 1);
do_fixup_by_prop_u32(blob, "device_type", "cpu", 4,
"clock-frequency", bd->bi_intfreq, 1);
do_fixup_by_compat_u32(blob, "fsl,cpm-brg", "clock-frequency",
gd->brg_clk, 1);
/* Fixup ethernet MAC addresses */
fdt_fixup_ethernet(blob, bd);
fdt_fixup_memory(blob, (u64)bd->bi_memstart, (u64)bd->bi_memsize);
}
Adding fdt support to an 8xx board is then as simple as defining
/* pass open firmware flat tree */
#define CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1
#define CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 1
In your u-boot/include/configs/MySuperBoard.h
Best,
Bryan
