implementations or no implementation on all platforms.
Some of these functions might be good ideas, but their semantics were unclear
given the lack of implementation, and an unlucky porter could be fooled into
trying to implement them or, worse, being baffled when something like
platform_trap_enter() failed to be called.
the ar71xx platform code should assume a uboot or redboot environment.
The current code gets very confused (and just crashes) on a uboot
environment, where each attribute=value pair is in a single entry.
Redboot on the other hand stores it as "attribute", "value", "attribute",
"value", ...
This allows the kernel to boot on a TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND from flash,
where the uboot environment gets setup. This didn't show up during a netboot
as "tftpboot" and "go" don't setup the uboot environment variables.
just for Redboot.
At some point we're going to need to build options for different
boot environments - for example, the UBoot setups I've seen simply
have the MAC address hard-coded at a fixed location in flash.
The OpenWRT support simply yanks the if_arge MAC directly from that
in code, rather than trying to find a uboot environment to pull it
from.
memory detected from Redboot, or overrides the "otherwise" case
if no Redboot information was found.
Some AR71XX platforms don't use Redboot (eg TP-LINK devices using
UBoot; some later Ubiquiti devices which apparently also use
UBoot) and at least one plain out lies - the Ubiquiti LS-SR71A
Redboot says there's 16mb of RAM when in fact there's 32mb.
A more "clean" solution will be needed at a later date.
* Implement a SoC probe function, from Linux, which determines the
SoC family, type and revision. This only probes the AR71xx series
SoC and (currently) panics on others.
* Migrate some of the AR71XX specific hardware init (USB device, determining
system frequencies) into using the cpuops introduced in an earlier commit.
Other SoC specific hardware stuff (per-device flush/WB, GPIO pin wiring,
Ethernet PLL setup, other things I've likely missed) will be introduced in
subsequent commits.
