Hai,
I am using the kernel 2.6.21. In the file
(arch/ppc/syslib/pci_auto.c) we have the function pciauto_bus_scan(). In this function it will skip the host birdge. But in the arch/powepc directory we don't have that types of file and the function pciauto_bus_scan() also removed.
I want to know where the function was moved in arch/powerpc directory ? How the host bridge was skip in the arch/powerpc directory.

This code doesn't exist in arch/powerpc we use more of the generic drivers/pci code

How the host bridge was skip in the arch/powerpc directory.

Again, if you look 2.6.23-rc3 there have been some fixes so you don't need to skip the host bridge anymore for Freescale PPC.
