I already addressed the one already mentioned (it was sloppy terminology in the comment, written from the perspective of devtree-less arches). The latter is even less clear, as it doesn't mention dynamic buses at all. Feel free to submit a documentation patch clearing it up. :-) > > > and because this was the only way in earlier releases to add an i2c > > > device. > > > > We've supported enumerating i2c-mpc devices using the device tree for > > almost as long as there's been new-style i2c devices. > > Don't know how long that has been but looking at the mpc832x_mds dts > file it has been there less than a year. commit d13ae8620dfdedfa7e9ab6d1eec294adc0516065 added i2c device probing from the device tree in 7/21/07, less than 3 months after new-style i2c devices were added to the i2c core. There were patches floating around the lists for longer than that. > > Why not? U-boot allows you to pass in a device tree dynamically. > > I don't use a dynamic device tree, mine is built in. So do a fixup in your board code. I'm not sure how you would even go about building a device tree into U-boot currently, though. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
