[PATCH] powerpc/5200: make BestComm gen_bd microcode exchangeable

2009-10-01 Thread Albrecht Dreß
This patch adds a method for defining different microcodes than the pe-defined ones for the MPC52xx processor's BestComm General Buffer Descriptor (gen_db) tasks. The default microcode is still the one from bcom_gen_bd_[rt]x_task, but it can be replaced by calling bcom_gen_bd_set_microcode
