Yes, this work is really great. However, I think that instead of making
a big change at once, we should rather follow something like:
* Make mach-dove, mach-kirkwood, mach-orion5x, mach-mv78xx0 use the
new gpio/pinctrl code
* Remove the plat-orion gpio/pinctrl code
* Make mach-dove, mach-kirkwood, mach-orion5x, mach-mv78xx0 use DT for
everything.
* Remove the plat-orion common.c file (once all devices are probed
through DT, common.c is no longer needed).
* Add clock framework support for everybody, with the code in
drivers/clk/.
* Refactor the PCI code so that it can cover all cases. We should soon
be working on PCI support on Armada 370/XP, so it will show what are
the differences/issues in having something that covers all cases.
* And then, only, merge everybody in mach-mvebu.
The idea here is to make the existing
mach-{dove,kirkwood,orion5x,mv78xx0} gradually converge to DT,
pinctrl/gpio, clock and other things, and only after that merge into
mach-mvebu. It will be much easier to do the merge as most of the code
in those mach- directory will have disappeared, as well as the code in
plat-orion.
Best regards,
Thomas
