For the time being, board support is listed explicitly in mpc5200_simple.c and 'generic' compatible values are strongly discouraged. This is on purpose. I have been thinking about coming up with a method for generic mpc5200 platform support code to bind against an otherwise unknown mpc5200 board, but there are subtleties here and considerable pain if it is done wrong. In the mean time, just patch your kernel with your board name(s) and don't try to use a generic value like mpc5200-simple-platform. BTW, please cc: the appropriate maintainers and developers when posting patches to the Linux kernel. The MAINTAINERS file and 'scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f <filename>' are useful tools here. g.

Just set model to "mpc5200-simple-plataform" on your dts file. I'm generally against that. Some time you'll need to diverge and poof ! you lost the ability to identify your board... it's also a very linux centric thing to put in the device-tree.

Hello, Adding "mpc5200-simple-platform" to the list of supported boards allow to use the option "Generic support for simple MPC5200 based boards" without patching the kernel. Just set model to "mpc5200-simple-plataform" on your dts file. Veja quais são os assuntos do momento no Yahoo! +Buscados http://br.maisbuscados.yahoo.com
