Arnd, Olof,

Another "fixes" pull-request for AT91 on top of material that you have already taken. Fixes are manly typos but the bad node declaration and some misspelling can cause confusion.

The following changes since commit 0ed66befaae893e82c9f016238282d73ef9fd6c7:

ARM: at91: fix infinite loop in at91_irq_suspend/resume (2013-03-14 09:37:55 +0100)

are available in the git repository at:

ARM: at91: Fix typo in restart code panic message (2013-03-26 11:00:02 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Little fixes mainly related to at91sam9x5 DT.
One typo is the only modification in C code.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Maxime Ripard (1):
ARM: at91: Fix typo in restart code panic message

Nicolas Ferre (4):
ARM: at91/dt: fix macb node declaration
ARM: at91/trivial: typos in compatible property
ARM: at91/trivial: fix model name for SAM9G15-EK
ARM: at91: remove partial parameter in bootargs for at91sam9x5ek.dtsi

Hi Nicolas,

I'd prefer to take only fixes for serious bugs into 3.9 now, since I have already sent the fixes for -rc5. As far as I can tell, the macb node patch is the only one that falls into that category, but for that one, I'd prefer if it could be redone in a simpler way, by replacing

+ ahb {
+ apb {
+ macb0: ethernet at f802c000 {
+ phy-mode = "rmii";
+ status = "okay";
+ };
+ };
+ };

with

	@macb0 {
		phy-mode = "rmii";
		status = "okay";
	}

as there is no need to provide the full path when you already have a label for the device.

Yes, fine, I stack them for 3.10 then.

Indeed, at first sight its looks like a nice solution. But I wonder if we add several nodes in this kind of .dtsi files, we may end up with mess between APB peripherals and board specific ones like leds, NAND, etc. Moreover, the plain and full naming of the node makes it identifiable without doubts, even someone not completely familiar with DT.

I slightly prefer to keep it like this, but I can still change my mind ;-)

If you don't want to use the labels, it's probably better to drop from the dtsi files. I think you can also write

ahb/apb/ethernet at 802c000 {
	phy-mode = "rmii";
        status = "okay";
};

although I think most people prefer the labels, and I have not tried the above.

Back to the bug fix, I think we can have a simpler version for 3.9 if you just mark the ethernet node as "disabled" in the at91sam9g15.dtsi file, and then do the patch to change the default in an add-on patch for 3.10.

It will not work, the at91sam9g15.dtsi is included before the buggy at91sam9x5ek.dtsi in the board .dts file.

Modifying only the at91sam9g15ek.dts and disabling it there will create an awful mess:
macb0:
at91sam9x5.dtsi: status = "disabled";
at91sam9x5ek.dtsi: status = "okay"; <<-- bug!
at91sam9g15ek.dts: status = "disabled"; <<-- fix?

and then do the patch to change the default
in an add-on patch for 3.10.

If it is too late for this kernel revision, I would prefer to postpone this modification and tag it for "stable" than have to deal with this issue twice...
