On a semi-related note: the current obstacle to moving more devices over =
to using FDT on BERI is that our FDT implementation appears to require a =
PIC to be configured. We're not actually using a PIC on BERI currently. =
It works fine attached to nexus, as the implied fallback for not having =
a PIC is to simply use the suitably numbered interrupt wires direct into =
the MIPS. However, trying the same setup described using FDT leads to an =
interrupt-related warning at boot, and no interrupt being provided to =
the driver. I suspect I need to provide a PIC-alike software component =
as a fall-back for the non-PIC case. =46rom a brief e-mail exchange with =
JC, it sounds like the XLP FDT setup is actually not using interrupts =
either, currently.
