[POWERPC] Fix up ibm_architecture_vec definition

2006-08-30T04:34:04Z

This problem was noticed by one of the Phyp firmware folks. Our ibm,client-architecture-support call was failing. This corrects the vector length parameters being passed in. Signed-off-by: Will Schmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Fix 32 bits warning in prom_init.c

[POWERPC] Workaround Pegasos incorrect ISA "ranges"

2006-07-25T15:26:24Z

The Pegasos firmware doesn't create a valid "ranges" property for the ISA bridge, thus causing translation of ISA addresses and IO ports to fail. This fixes it, thus re-enabling proper early serial console to work on Pegasos. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Fix booting on Momentum "Apache" board (a Maple derivative)

2006-07-03T07:22:05Z

This extends the maple device-tree workarounds to work on the Apache board as well, and extends the maple platform probing code to recognize the Apache board. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[POWERPC] Fix builtin command line interaction with firmware

2006-06-15T09:31:26Z

It seems that prom_init's early_cmdline_parse is broken on at least Apple 970 xserves and IBM JS20 blades with SLOF. The firmware of these machines returns -1 and 1 respectively when getprop is called for the bootargs property of /chosen, causing Linux to ignore its builtin command line in favor of a null string. This patch makes Linux use its builtin command line if getprop returns an error or a null string. Signed-off-by: Amos Waterland Acked-by: Segher Boessenkool Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix cell blade detection

2006-06-09T03:06:00Z

The IBM Cell blade firmware might confuse the kernel to think it's a pSeries machine. This fixes it for now. With a bit of luck, the firmware will be updated to avoid that in the future but currently that patch is needed. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras

[PATCH] powerpc: Fix call to ibm,client-architecture-support

2006-06-09T03:05:51Z

The code in prom_init.c calling the firmware ibm,client-architecture-support method on pSeries has a bug where it fails to properly pass the instance handle of the firmware object when trying to call a method. Result ranges from the call doing nothing to the firmware crashing. (Found by Segher, thanks !) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Segher Boessenkool Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
