Hello,
I saw Baruch Siach's patch: powerpc: 85xx: separate e500 from e500mc
Unfortunately, that patch breaks the dependencies for the P5020DS platform and does not fix the underlying code which does not understand what the ambiguous "CONFIG_E500" means.
In order to fix the issue at the fundamental level, I created the following 17-patch series loosely based on Baruch's patch.
=== High-Level Summary ===
The e500v1/v2 and e500mc/e5500 CPU families are not compatible with each other, yet they share the same "CONFIG_E500" Kconfig option.
The following patch series splits the 32-bit CPU support into two separate options: "CONFIG_FSL_E500_V1_V2" and "CONFIG_FSL_E500MC". Additionally, the 64-bit e5500 support is separated to its own config option ("CONFIG_FSL_E5500") which is automatically combined with either 32-bit e500MC or 64-bit Book-3E when the P5020DS board support is enabled.
I based the patches on v3.2-rc1, please let me know if I should update the patches against a different tree.
The first 4 patches stand on their own merits; they are generic code cleanups necessary to support the later patches.
I'd like to know what you all think.
Cheers, Kyle Moffett
