immap with 8xx.

[Ingo Hornberger]

Thanks Dan for your reply!

I mainly needed the immap stuff like 'immap_rp_t' and some 'defines'.

But I just started to reorder this. I thought that 'cpm1' and 'cpm2'
devices should follow the same unique scheme, shouldn't they? Even if we
only have one cpm1 device.

Otherwise the naming is very confusing.
For example:
(8xx)     	(cpm2)
commproc.h	cpm2.h
8xx_immap.h	immap_cpm2.h
immap_t  	cpm2_map_t
iop8xx_t	iop_cpm2_t
...       	...

And because the cpm2 scheme is newer and cleaner, I think we should use
that instead.
This change would mainly rename the following files (and their symbols):
8xx_immap.h -> immap_cpm1.h
commproc.h  -> cpm1.h
(but likely affect others, too)

Then we would need three patches:
1. rename the files
2. patch only the 'include/asm' files
3. rename all "#include" directives and symbols in the rest.

Or do you see too much problems in renaming such symbols? Perhaps this
should be a topic for the development kernel, but I don't think so...

I think we should do this now, because it's only relevant for low-level
8xx code (and drivers like mine or the ide driver). The init code could
be converted by us, and as the 8xx port of 2.6 isn't such old and stable
I believe that there are not too much (if none) already ported drivers
around that are using low-level 8xx stuff.

But I'd like to here more opinions.

regards,
	Ingo
