[PATCH] of/flattree: use callback to setup initrd from /chosen

Jeremy Kerr jeremy.kerr at canonical.com
Tue Dec 22 20:39:51 EST 2009


At present, the fdt code sets the kernel-wide initrd_start and
initrd_end variables when parsing /chosen. On ARM, we only set these
once the bootmem has been reserved.

This change adds an arch callback to setup the initrd from the device
tree:

 void early_init_dt_setup_initrd_arch(unsigned long start,
				      unsigned long end);

The arch-specific code can then setup the initrd however it likes.

Compiled on powerpc, with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y and =n.
