MIPS: move mips_{set,get}_machine_name() to a more generic place

2013-05-07T23:19:07Z

Previously this functionality was only available to users of the mips_machine api. Moving the code to prom.c allows us to also add a OF wrapper. Signed-off-by: John Crispin Patchwork: http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/5164/

MIPS: Add generic support for multiple machines within a single kernel

2011-01-18T18:30:21Z

This patch adds a generic solution to support multiple machines based on a given SoC within a single kernel image. It is implemented already for several other architectures but MIPS has no generic support for that yet. [Ralf: This competes with DT but DT is a much more complex solution and this code has been used by OpenWRT for a long time so for now DT is a bad reason to stop the merge but longer term this should be migrated to DT.] Signed-off-by: Gabor Juhos Cc: linux-mips@linux-mips.org Cc: kaloz@openwrt.org Cc: Luis R.
