MIPS: generic: Convert SEAD-3 to a generic board

2016-10-06T16:04:20+00:00

Convert the MIPS SEAD-3 board support to be a generic board, supported by generic kernels. Because the SEAD-3 boot protocol was defined long ago and we don't want to force a switch to the UHI protocol, SEAD-3 is added as a legacy board which is detected by reading the REVISION register. This may technically not be a valid memory read & future work will include attempting to handle that gracefully. In practice since SEAD-3 is the only legacy board supported by the generic kernel so far the read will only happen on SEAD-3 boards, and even once Malta is converted the same REVISION register exists there too. Other boards such as Boston, Ci20 & Ci40 will use the UHI boot protocol & thus not run any of the legacy board detect functions.

MIPS: SEAD3: Remove custom read_persistent_clock

2016-10-06T15:10:59+00:00

The SEAD3 board defines a custom implementation of read_persistent_clock which does exactly the same dummy operation as the generic weak version. Remove the not really implemented custom version.

MIPS: SEAD3: Use img-ascii-lcd driver

2016-10-06T15:04:34+00:00

Probe the img-ascii-lcd driver using device tree in order to display a message on the SEAD3 board's LCD display, and remove the platform code that was formerly performing this function. This removes more platform code and moves SEAD3 further towards being entirely DT-based.

MIPS: SEAD3: Drop use of cobalt fbdev driver

2016-10-06T14:42:07+00:00

The 2 line * 16 character LCD display on the SEAD3 board has no real use as a framebuffer device. It's far too small to produce any meaningful output if used as the kernel console, SEAD3 is a development board that will essentially always have a far more useful UART connection & the code in sead3-display.c will overwrite whatever's on the display every second anyway. Remove this unused code.

MIPS: SEAD3: Parse memsize in DT shim

2016-10-04T23:31:20+00:00

Parse the memsize argument provided by the bootloader in the DT shim code, allowing the user to override it on the command line. This places all of the DT manipulation code into sead3-dtshim.c.

MIPS: SEAD3: Use generic restart-poweroff driver

2016-10-04T23:31:20+00:00

Remove the custom platform code to restart when instructed to power off, instead relying upon the generic restart-poweroff driver probed via DT to do the same thing. Remove also the halt implementation, which is incorrect. The generic MIPS version will hang the system as halt should.

MIPS: SEAD3: Reset via generic syscon-reboot driver & DT

2016-10-04T23:31:20+00:00

Remove the SEAD3 implementation of _machine_restart & instead make use of the generic syscon-reboot driver probed via device tree.

MIPS: SEAD3: Use register-bit-led driver via DT for LEDs

2016-10-04T23:31:20+00:00

Probe a driver for the PLED & FLED LEDs found on the SEAD3 board using the register-bit-led driver via device tree, rather than a custom driver via platform code. Enable support for the register-bit-led driver & its prerequisite syscon in sead3_defconfig.

MIPS: SEAD3: Probe EHCI controller using DT

2016-10-04T23:31:20+00:00

Probe the SEAD3 EHCI controller using the generic-ehci driver & device tree rather than platform code, in order to reduce the amount of the latter. Now that no devices probed from platform code require interrupts, remove the retrieval of the IRQ domain & sead3int.h.
