CS Systemes d'Information (CSSI) manufactures two boards, named MCR3000
and CMPC885 which are respectively based on MPC866 and MPC885.
This patch is the skeleton to allow soon inclusion of support for
those two boards.

 The source code for those two boards needs consequent cleanup
before being suitable for inclusion, however we need to stop
8xx deletion hemoragia as soon as possible.

With what I'm going to send out as a v2 of the rest of the series, I'm
OK with not including an empty directory for now and bringing back
mpc8xx, thanks again!

Hmm.. do we really want back the old files?

Just a fast look in the patchstatistic:

  arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/spi.c          |  533 ++++++++++++

No, spi drivers are in drivers/spi nowadays

  arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/scc.c          |  472 +++++++++++
  arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/fec.c          |  933 +++++++++++++++++++++
  arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/fec.h          |   12 +

-> driver/net

  arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/serial.c       |  676 ++++++++++++++++

-> drivers/serial

Only fast look into:
arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/spi.c

         cp->cp_pbpar |=  0x0000000E;    /* set  bits    */

No use of ioaccesors, no defines for magic values ...:-(

DM support? Cleanup for Kconfig support?

One reason of the remove was, that the mpc8xx files wasn;t in a good
shape, and nobody volunteered for cleaning it up ...

Are there plans to clean this up ?

If no: NACK from me, sorry.

Why not posting a patchset, which introduce mpc8xx support only?

bye,
Heiko

Yes, we do.  Revert, and then improve.  We will not let mpc8xx fall
behind, but we need to bring things back to start with.

Yes, agreed, DM conversion, Kconfig work, and otherwise cleaning things
up to be as clean as newer architecture work is, is required to keep
mpc8xx in.

This, fwiw, is what I sent out as v2, but needs to be v3'd.

Yes, I don't like the idea of a big-bang. Lets clean it up step by step, 
as done for other targets.

I do volunteer for cleaning it up .... but definitly not for re-starting 
from scratch.

I will do it, but I'd like to start from an existing situation, not 
start from scratch.

We have a basis that is maybe old, but works. For me it is a better 
starting point.

Ok, thanks!

Hmm... starting here from scratch is may better here, but thats just
just my opinion ...

Understand ... but a simple patch which introduces back the mpc8xx files
only, with some basic changes, like I mentioned would be cleaner.

And don;t forget to add you as mpc8xx maintainer ;-)

Dear Tom,

In message <20170621152200.GJ27196@bill-the-cat> you wrote:

Sorry, but I disagree here.

This revert series is a mess.  It does not simply re-add 8xx
support, it reverts everything and then re-removes everything except
8xx.  This is totally unnecessary and ugly.  Please do not accept
these patches.


Also, as Heiko already mentioned, if we re-add 8xx support, this
should be done in a way that matches today's requirements. The code
needs cleanup everywhere: directory layout, Kconfig, DM support, I/O
accessors, etc.

NAK!




Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Yes I have accepted this task, but please don't make it more complicated 
than it is already. I need to start from an existing situation and go 
step by step just like it has been done with other targets.
