a DRIVER_MODULE() referencing mmc_driver has a MODULE_DEPEND() on mmc. This
is because the kernel linker only searches for symbols in dependent modules,
so loading sdhci_pci (and other bus-flavors of sdhci) would fail when mmc
was not compiled into the kernel (even if you hand-loaded mmc first).
(Thanks to jilles@ for providing the vital clue about the kernel linker.)
to check the status property in their probe routines.
Simplebus used to only instantiate its children whose status="okay"
but that was improper behavior, fixed in r261352. Now that it doesn't
check anymore and probes all its children; the children all have to
do the check because really only the children know how to properly
interpret their status property strings.
Right now all existing drivers only understand "okay" versus something-
that's-not-okay, so they all use the new ofw_bus_status_okay() helper.
static device mappings.
This SoC relied heavily on the fact that all devices were static-mapped
at a fixed address, and it (rather bogusly) used bus_space read and write
calls passing hard-coded virtual addresses instead of proper bus handles,
relying on the fact that the virtual addresses of the mappings were known
at compile time, and relying on the implementation details of arm
bus_space never changing. All such usage was replaced with calls to
bus_space_map() to obtain a proper bus handle for the read/write calls.
This required adjusting some of the #define values that map out hardware
registers, and some of them were renamed in the process to make it clear
which were defining absolute physical addresses and which were defining
offsets. (The ones that just define offsets don't appear to be referenced
and probably serve no value other than perhaps documentation.)
really need it. That would be almost everywhere it was included. Add
it in a couple files that really do need it and were previously getting
it by accident via another header.
