Subject: [POWERPC] Remove linux,device properties
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~1300^2~95
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=980ffd3258dbcdb011e929de5d658ec81febba8d;p=linux-2.6

[POWERPC] Remove linux,device properties

The linux,device property isn't used anywhere within the kernel, and
since it's a kernel pointer, it's a little useless for userspace.

This change removes the code to create this property in
of_device_register.

Built for pmac32.
