Hauke Mehrtens bf7d420b4a ssb/bcma: fill attribute alpha2 from sprom
The attribute country_code and alpha2 are two different attributes in
the sprom. country_code contains some code in an 8 bit coding and
alpha2 contains two chars with the country code. The attributes where
read out wrongly in the past and country_code is only available on
sprom version 1.

TODO bcma: add Broadcom specific AMBA bus driver 2011-05-10 15:54:54 -04:00

Broadcom introduced new bus as replacement for older SSB. It is based on AMBA,
however from programming point of view there is nothing AMBA specific we use.

Standard AMBA drivers are platform specific, have hardcoded addresses and use
AMBA standard fields like CID and PID.

In case of Broadcom's cards every device consists of:
1) Broadcom specific AMBA device. It is put on AMBA bus, but can not be treated
   as standard AMBA device. Reading it's CID or PID can cause machine lockup.
2) AMBA standard devices called ports or wrappers. They have CIDs (AMBA_CID)
   and PIDs (0x103BB369), but we do not use that info for anything. One of that
   devices is used for managing Broadcom specific core.

Addresses of AMBA devices are not hardcoded in driver and have to be read from
EPROM.

In this situation we decided to introduce separated bus. It can contain up to
16 devices identified by Broadcom specific fields: manufacturer, id, revision
and class.
