Well, we'll see, let's have a look :)

Not totally related to your patch but I'm tempted to turn that into a
"Generic 6xx/7xx/7xxx" rather than "embedded" if we manage to always
avoid board specific code most of the time, but instead add necessary
bits in the device-tree. We still need a per-board Kconfig option I
think that will just select the necessary bits and pieces (and more than
one can be selected at one time). Also, I think right now, the embedded
stuff is +/- exclusive from the MULTIPLATFORM stuff, that must be fixed
asap. We are all living in the same kernel now :)

Not sure what the above is, I'll have a look further in the patch but I
can already tell you that it should be your per-board
CONFIG_PPC_SANDPOINT for example that "selects" the various bits you
need, and thus the above should depend on it, not EMBEDDED6xx... In fact
I'm wondering wether we should kill EMBEDDED6xx :) Unless it's purely a
reference to arch/powerpc/platforms/embedded6xx/ as a storage place for
board setup_xxx.c files which is useful for platforms that really don't
need more than one or 2 files in there.

Again, I think CONFIG_EMBEDDED6xx is the wrong approach. I'd like to
avoid the word "embedded" altogether anyway :) Thing is, it would be
good if ultimately, embedded boards firmware was capable of passing a
device-tree. Thus, embedded a device-tree in the zImage wrapper is more
like a "fallback" solution which has the side effect of creating machine
specific zImage's.

That is why, I think, what we should do is have rules for building
separate zImage wrappers. The basic OF one (which exists in both real
and virtual mode versions and that I'd like to make capable of also
working if a flat device-tree is passed in), the zImage.sandpoint, the
zImage.prep, and whatever...

Thus enabling CONFIG_PPC_MYBOARD should trigger the build of the
board-flavored version of the wrapper in addition to all the other ones
for the other boards built as part of a given config.

I know it's a bit difficult because the current boot Kbuild rules aren't
really design for multiple targets but I think that's the way to go.
 
 .../...

About the .dts file, we should look into "shipping" a pre-built one so
that dtc is not required for building a kernel. I think we already have
a mecanism for providing "shipped" versions of files and having the
option of rebuilding them from source (though I don't have the details
in mind at the moment)

Well... io accessors in here can't harm, the question is more how they
are used ;)

That's more annoying... if we start having PCI config space access in
the boot wrapper how far will it stop ? I'd rather keep that sort of
stuff local to myboard.c file unless it's really worth sharing... Unless
we end up with really common need for them in which case those should be
in separate files, possibly in a separate dir (thinking about it, prep
will probably need that too)

The main problem is how do we do printf kind of things from such a
bootloader. That needs IO, thus uart drivers etc... possibly parsing
from the device-tree etc... I'm tempted to just have a global
"boot_puts" function pointer set by the board and/or OF code to use
through the bootloader, maybe a shared uart.c file with various uart
bits and keep the gory implementation details of mapping the uart and
using those uart bits in the myboard.c file...

Why 2 different prototypes for kernel_entry ?

I think we need something like CONFIG_PPC_BOOT_HAS_BUILTIN_DT that
enables various DT related stuff in a clean way and have a builtin_dt.h
file with related prototypes & definitions.

Let's avoid #ifdef's if we can... provide function pointers where it
matter setup by the board/OF init code maybe but not ifdef's. Afaik,
only WD actually _likes_ ifdef's :)

Well, your own comment says it all :) I think we might need an

Can't we share the kernel definition here ? Maybe split the kenrel one
in two if necessary ? I don't like that sort of duplication...

Forgot to mention that earlier, but those should be uart_* imho (or even
16550_*) since we'll surely have different species of serial ports to
deal with and I don't like name mixup. Unless we consider that only ever
one of those serial files get built in a given zImage wrapper in which
case it makes some sense...

I don't think call_prom is the right abstraction :) We have to decide
here, we have two choices:

 - Either a given zImage wrapper can be booted from both a real OF and
have an embedded flat DT, in which case we need function pointers and I
think the right abstraction is for individual prom functions to have
their function pointer rathaer than "multiplex" through call_prom

 - Or a given zImage wrapper is a single board thingy. That is it is
either the OF wrapper _or_ it can contain an embedded DT. Probably
easier that way and no need for funciton pointers nor mux at all... I
tend to think that might be the right way to go at this point...
Especially since as I wrote before, I'm tempted to think we should just
in that case build multiple zImage wrappers. The only thing there is
that if we go that route, I'd like the "OF" one to also be able to boot
with a flat DT passed on entry to it so it will be useable as a generic
zImage for firmwares that have a flat DT to pass to the kernel. The only
"issue" with that is it might be difficult to have console output unless
we do the putc function pointer thing I described earlier and have
several "uart" impleentations with differnet names and enough
device-tree parsing to be able to instanciate them (almost a copy of
kernel's legacy serial stuff). Another option if we want console output
is to add something to the DT header specifically for use by such early
boot code that specifies a function that can be called back for
displaying thing as long as a given memory range isn't overriden (the FW
itself)

Comments are welcome here, this is I think the most tricky point and
where we need to make a decision...

It would be really nice if we could define properties to put in the
"mpic" node that defines the various attributes to pass to it and that
sort of thing so that we can have a generic "mpic_init_IRQ" that walks
all MPICs and instanciate & link them in cascade when necessary... Oh
well, food for thought, no high priority there.

How much of the above could/should be done by the wrapper since it does
config space access hacks ? My idea is that we might be able to remove
pretty much _everything_ from this sandpoint.c file ... My dream would
be to have a generic board support that matches a list of known boards
for which no special code is needed, only the device-tree (and possibly
the zImage wrapper).

The main things preventing us from doing that at the moment is that we
need to define enough standard nodes/properties to have the ability to
the setup interrupt controller tree entirely from it, and the PCI host
bridges as well. For the later, that means encoding enough of the bridge
type and config access method to allow having a generic device-tree
based piece of code that does what add_bridges() does in a generic way.

If we need to exclude devices in a generic way, we could define a
specific exclude list property... or use what I think has already been
defined by OF for indicating which slots should be probed :)

See above comments.... Looks ok but how many boards will end up having
very small variations of that same code and thus can we find a way to
make that totally generic...

The isa stuff should probably be deduced from the device-tree, the
default LPJ too, probably not even useful anymore since we are using the
timebase nowadays.

Same comment as above, this is fairly generic and we could even imagine
something like a linux,default-boot-device thing in the DT...

The problem of IRQ mapping & swizzling will be solved real soon
(hopefully early 2.6.18) so that we can completely rely on the
device-tree without needing device_node's for every PCI device. Only P2P
bridges that don't do standard swizzling (typically bridges soldered on
the motherboard) will require device nodes. I'm working on it :)

The idea is that the host bridge will need the standard interrupt-map &
interrupt-map-mask which will indicate the interrupt mapping for every
line of every slot/device in the standard way handled by OF (that
already works). And I'll add code that will be able to handle PCI
devices without a node by artificially building their "interrupts"
property based on the interrupt pin config space entry and walking up
the PCI tree, doing standard swizzling when encountering a P2P bridge
until we hit something with a device-node in which case we hook our
result to the interrupt-map of that device-node.

Keeping in mind my idea of having as much generic code as possible,
whould we do the above in the boot wrapper or if not, should we provide
some DT entries indicating that L2CR should be reset and to which
values ?

Same comment as above but for L3CR

Looks like zImage wrapper work to me... Unless we ever get booted by a
firmware that both provides a flat DT and doesn't do the above....

Ok, I'm not _ABSOLUTELY_ trying to remove the need for a myboar.c file
here ... but it might be worth doing something generic enough so that
it's either reduced to the strict minimum in many cases _or_ made
completely unnecessary if we can...

The above has to go... not sure yet what is the best way but it's just a
pain... Could be made dependent on the OFDT too

To kill absolutely. What is it there for ? At the very least, make
io_block_mapping allocate virtual space as discussed earlier. I'd like
to keep BATs for RAM anyway

The above is fairly common. (Or variations of it). In the context of a
"generic" board, we could imagine having a list of known "reboot
methods" and have a DT node indicating which one to use...

The above is _VERY_ commmon :) probably worth just not having a callback
in ppc_md. at all...

Do we need that ? We could define standard DT properties that get
printed in cpuinfo and have that in setup-common.c ...

 .../... (commented out IDE code)

This is a windbond ? Can't it just be probed/detected using normal PCI
probing ?

So on the TODO list, replace as much as we can of the above with
generic_* equivalents until nothing remains :)

This should not be an #ifdef.... this should be an MPIC init flag passed
when initializing it. (and if we do generic device-tree instanciation of
PIC's, we could define standard properties to put in the MPIC node to
enable those flags).

Keep up the good work ! :)

Cheers,
Ben.
