Hi Nathan,

Thanks for the patches.  Comments below.

Creation of the OF dynamic device tree update code in drivers/of.  This

based on a new OF_DYNAMIC config option.

Rather than one patch to create all the moved functions, and then
subsequent patches to remove the duplicates from each arch, I've been
using the pattern of one patch for each function or couple of
functions to both remove from the old files and add to the new home.
Would you be able to do the same for your patches here?  The merging
is complicated enough without having to track changes to a function
between separate commits.  Moving one function at a time will also
make bisecting more friendly.


Shouldn't be a problem.


Also, have you checked what impact these changes have on SPARC?


I took a look at sparc code, but will do again as I redo the patches to
make there are no impacts.

Unrelated whitespace churn makes it hard to see what actually changed.

ok.
