* powerpc/BSR: Support multiple OF-node description of BSRSonny Rao2008-12-031-29/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for multiple BSR nodes in the OF device tree. Previously, the BSR driver only supported a single OF node describing a BSR. Apparently when an LPAR is set to use "all system resources" the BSR appears as a single node, but when it is handed out in pieces, each 8 byte piece gets its own node. So, this keeps a list of BSR devices instead of the array and includes all nodes. Also, this makes the code be more inclusive of what BSR devices we accept by only checking compatibility and not the device name property (which might change in the future versions of BSR).

* device create: char: convert device_create_drvdata to device_createGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-10-161-3/+2
| | | | | | | | Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the original call to be sane. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* powerpc: Add driver for Barrier Synchronization RegisterSonny Rao2008-07-151-0/+312
Adds a character driver for BSR support on IBM POWER systems including Power5 and Power6. The BSR is an optional processor facility not currently implemented by any other processors. It's primary purpose is fast large SMP synchronization. More details on the BSR are in comments to the code which follows. This patch adds BSR driver to pseries_defconfig.
