    [POWERPC] cpm: Describe multi-user ram in its own device node. · 15f8c604
    Scott Wood authored
    The way the current CPM binding describes available multi-user (a.k.a.
    dual-ported) RAM doesn't work well when there are multiple free regions,
    and it doesn't work at all if the region doesn't begin at the start of
    the muram area (as the hardware needs to be programmed with offsets into
    this area).  The latter situation can happen with SMC UARTs on CPM2, as its
    parameter RAM is relocatable, u-boot puts it at zero, and the kernel doesn't
    support moving it.
    
    It is now described with a muram node, similar to QE.  The current CPM
    binding is sufficiently recent (i.e. never appeared in an official release)
    that compatibility with existing device trees is not an issue.
    
    The code supporting the new binding is shared between cpm1 and cpm2, rather
    than remain separated.  QE should be able to use this code as well, once
    minor fixes are made to its device trees.
