# 209908 11-Jul-2010 raj

Convert Freescale PowerPC platforms to FDT convention.

The following systems are affected:

- MPC8555CDS
- MPC8572DS

This overhaul covers the following major changes:

- All integrated peripherals drivers for Freescale MPC85XX SoC, which are
currently in the FreeBSD source tree are reworked and adjusted so they
derive config data out of the device tree blob (instead of hard coded /
tabelarized values).

- This includes: LBC, PCI / PCI-Express, I2C, DS1553, OpenPIC, TSEC, SEC,
QUICC, UART, CFI.

- Thanks to the common FDT infrastrucutre (fdtbus, simplebus) we retire
ocpbus(4) driver, which was based on hard-coded config data.

Note that world for these platforms has to be built WITH_FDT.

# 195831 23-Jul-2009 nwhitehorn

Fix serial console on Apple Xserve G5 by falling back to input-device-1
if input-device is unavailable. The Xserve G5 defaults to using
screen/keyboard for output-device/input-device even if these are not
installed, and then falls back to serial ports at boot time.

# 190860 08-Apr-2009 marcel

Don't use pmap_kextact() when comparing bus handles for Book-E.
We typically wire translation to devices with TLB1 entries and
pmap_kextract() does not know about those and returns 0. This
causes false positives (read: all serial ports suddenly become
the console).


# 190681 03-Apr-2009 nwhitehorn

Add support for 64-bit PowerPC CPUs operating in the 64-bit bridge mode
provided, for example, on the PowerPC 970 (G5), as well as on related CPUs
like the POWER3 and POWER4.

This also adds support for various built-in hardware found on Apple G5
hardware (e.g. the IBM CPC925 northbridge).

# 176771 03-Mar-2008 raj

Initial support for Freescale PowerQUICC III MPC85xx system-on-chip family.

The PQ3 is a high performance integrated communications processing system
based on the e500 core, which is an embedded RISC processor that implements
the 32-bit Book E definition of the PowerPC architecture. For details refer
to: http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=MPC8555E

This port was tested and successfully run on the following members of the PQ3
family: MPC8533, MPC8541, MPC8548, MPC8555.

The following major integrated peripherals are supported:

* On-chip peripherals bus
* OpenPIC interrupt controller
* UART
* Ethernet (TSEC)
* Host/PCI bridge
* QUICC engine (SCC functionality)

This commit brings the main functionality and will be followed by individual
drivers that are logically separate from this base.

# 174782 19-Dec-2007 marcel

Redefine bus_space_tag_t on PowerPC from a 32-bit integral to
a pointer to struct bus_space. The structure contains function
pointers that do the actual bus space access.

The reason for this change is that previously all bus space
accesses were little endian (i.e. had an explicit byte-swap
for multi-byte accesses), because all busses on Macs are little
endian.
The upcoming support for Book E, and in particular the E500
core, requires support for big-endian busses because all
embedded peripherals are in the native byte-order.

With this change, there's no distinction between I/O port
space and memory mapped I/O. PowerPC doesn't have I/O port
space. Busses assign tags based on the byte-order only.
For that purpose, two global structures exist (bs_be_tag and
bs_le_tag), of which the address can be taken to get a valid
tag.

# 168281 02-Apr-2007 marcel

Don't expose the uart_ops structure directly, but instead have
it obtained through the uart_class structure. This allows us
to declare the uart_class structure as weak and as such allows
us to reference it even when it's not compiled-in.
It also allows is to get the uart_ops structure by name, which
makes it possible to implement the dt tag handling in uart_getenv().
The side-effect of all this is that we're using the uart_class
structure more consistently which means that we now also have
access to the size of the bus space block needed by the hardware
when we map the bus space, eliminating any hardcoding.


# 160715 26-Jul-2006 marcel

Implement uart_cpu_eqres() and uart_cpu_getdev(). This allows
FreeBSD to use a serial console, as per the OFW settings.


# 157317 30-Mar-2006 marcel

Allow uart(4) to be built on PowerPC.
