Subject: [SPARC64]: Allow userspace to get at the machine description.
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0fdb7f96d8c27e37ed2ca1ae5a763baf14b8fe0c;p=linux-beck.git

[SPARC64]: Allow userspace to get at the machine description.

Like the OF device tree, it's useful to let userland get
at the machine description so it can pretty print the
graph etc.

The implementation is a simple MISC device with a read method.
