Subject: [PATCH v3] powerpc: Add cpu family documentation
Date: Mon, 26 May 2014 21:44:25 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1401104665-7819-1-git-send-email-mpe@ellerman.id.au> (raw)
This patch adds some documentation on the different cpu families
supported by arch/powerpc.
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
---
Please send any further corrections as patches :)
v3: Dropped 740, don't need that level of detail.
Don't list 850 separately from 8xx.
Rename 8xx to MPC8xx Core as per James.
Moved Book3e to e500mc.
Add e300 and e600.
Show ambiguous Cell/Power6 relationship.
v2: Reworked formatting to avoid wrapping.
Fixed up Freescale details.
