of/drivers: Always use struct device.of_node to get node pointer
Hi Grant, The following structure elements duplicate the information in 'struct device.of_node' and so are being eliminated. This patches makes all readers of the following elements use device.of_node instead. struct dev_archdata.prom_node (sparc) struct dev_archdata.of_node (powerpc) struct of... 18 Mar 2010 12:59

Memory Loss
Hi, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 reporting the loss of some memory at boot time. It runs Ubuntu Karmic kernel 2.6.31-19-server (internal name).

[V2 PATCH 02/10] i2c/of: Allow device node to be passed via i2c_board_info
The struct device_node *of_node pointer is moving out of dev->archdata and into the struct device proper. of_i2c.c needs to set the of_node pointer before the device is registered. Since the i2c subsystem doesn't allow 2 stage allocation and registration of i2c devices, the of_node pointer needs to be passed via ... 18 Mar 2010 11:41
