Anton Vorontsov b9e0ba8114 booting-without-of: Remove nonexistent chapters from TOC, fix numbering
Marvell and GPIO bindings live in their own files, so the TOC should not
mention them.

Also fix chapters numbering.

Justin P. Mattock 0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

Trent Piepho ec5d7657f7 powerpc: Repair device bindings documentation
Commit d0fc2eaaf4 "powerpc/fsl: Refactor
device bindings" split out a number of device bindings from
booting-without-of.txt into separate files.  Having them all in one file
was a frequent source of merge conflicts.

However, in the next merge, 49997d7515, there
was another conflict.  Some of the bindings removed from
booting-without-of.txt were mistakenly added back in and the copies in
dts-bindings were kept as well.

This patch re-removes "Freescale Display Interface" and "Freescale on board
FPGA" and fixes the table of contents.

Anton Vorontsov 83ff9dcf37 powerpc/sysdev: implement FSL GTM support
GTM stands for General-purpose Timers Module and able to generate
timer{1,2,3,4} interrupts. These timers are used by the drivers that
need time precise interrupts (like for USB transactions scheduling for
the Freescale USB Host controller as found in some QE and CPM chips),
or these timers could be used as wakeup events from the CPU deep-sleep
mode.

Things unimplemented:
1. Cascaded (32 bit) timers (1-2, 3-4).
   This is straightforward to implement when needed, two timers should
   be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate.
2. Super-cascaded (64 bit) timers (1-2-3-4).
   This is also straightforward to implement when needed, all timers
   should be marked as "requested" and configured as appropriate.

York Sun 9b53a9e28a fbdev: powerpc: driver for Freescale 8610 and 5121 DIU
The following features are supported:
plane 0 works as a regular frame buffer, can be accessed by /dev/fb0
plane 1 has two AOIs (area of interest), can be accessed by /dev/fb1 and /dev/fb2
plane 2 has two AOIs, can be accessed by /dev/fb3 and /dev/fb4
Special ioctls support AOIs

All /dev/fb* can be used as regular frame buffer devices, except hardware
change can only be made through /dev/fb0.  Changing pixel clock has no effect
on other fbs.

Limitation of usage of AOIs:
AOIs on the same plane can not be horizonally overlapped
AOIs have horizonal order, i.e. AOI0 should be always on top of AOI1
AOIs can not beyond phisical display area. Application should check AOI geometry
before changing physical resolution on /dev/fb0

required command line parameters to preallocate memory for frame buffer diufb.

optional command line parameters to set modes and monitor
video=fslfb:[resolution][,bpp][,monitor]
Syntax:

Resolution
xres x yres-bpp@refresh_rate, the -bpp and @refresh_rate are optional
eg, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1280x1024-32, 1280x1024@60, 1280x1024-32@60, 1280x480-32@60

Bpp
bpp=32, bpp=24, or bpp=16

Monitor
monitor=0, monitor=1, monitor=2
0 is DVI
1 is Single link LVDS
2 is Double link LVDS

Note: switching monitor is a board feather, not DIU feather. MPC8610HPCD has three
monitor ports to swtich to. MPC5121ADS doesn't have additional monitor port. So switching
monirot port for MPC5121ADS has no effect.

If compiled as a module, it takes pamameters mode, bpp, monitor with the same syntax above.

David Gibson ecc6cd73b7 [POWERPC] Start removing linux,network-index in favour of aliases
This patch alters the bootwrapper for a number of machines (roubhly
all 4xx based cuboot or treeboot platforms) to use aliases instead of
the linux,network-index hack to work out which MAC address to attach
to which ethernet device node.

The now obsolete linux,network-index properties are removed from the
corresponding device trees.  This won't break backwards compatiblity,
because in cases where this fixup code is relevant, the device tree is
part of the kernel image.

The references to linux,network-index are removed from
booting-without-of.txt.  Not only is it now deprecated, but as a hack
applicable only when the device tree blob and fixup code were in the
same image, this property never belonged in booting-without-of.txt
which describes the interface between the kernel and firmware or
bootloaders which produce a device tree.  By the time the device tree
reaches the kernel, all the MAC addresses must be fully filled in.

Stephen Neuendorffer ab99eee8ac [POWERPC] Xilinx: Update booting-without-of.
This now better describes what the UBoot device tree generator
actually does.  In particular:

1) Nodes have a label derived from the device name, and a node name
derived from a generic version of the device type, e.g. 'ethernet',
'serial', etc.

2) Usage of compound nodes (representing more than one device in the
same IP) which actually works.  This requires having a valid
compatible node, and all the other things that a bus normally has.
I've chosen 'xlnx,compound' as the bus name to describe these compound
nodes.

In addition, I've clarified some of the language relating to how mhs
nodes should be represent in the device tree.

on the receive or transmit side only; document the new property values.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 20474abda6 [POWERPC] Fix cache line vs. block size confusion
We had an historical confusion in the kernel between cache line
and cache block size. The former is an implementation detail of
the L1 cache which can be useful for performance optimisations,
the later is the actual size on which the cache control
instructions operate, which can be different.

For some reason, we had a weird hack reading the right property
on powermac and the wrong one on any other 64 bits (32 bits is
unaffected as it only uses the cputable for cache block size
infos at this stage).

This fixes the booting-without-of.txt documentation to mention
the right properties, and fixes the 64 bits initialization code
to look for the block size first, with a fallback to the line
size if the property is missing.
