Basics: the ADM5120 is a 175 MHz MIPS32 4Kc processor featuring a
6-port ethernet 10/100 switch with Auto MDI/X, a PCI controller,
USB 1.1 controller, UART, watchdog timer, eight GPIO pins, and a
multiport memory controller with both NOR and NAND flash support.
This code supports most of the devices on the ADM5120, including
the 6-port switch (each port attaches as an ethernet, admsw0 through
admsw5), the PCI controller, USB controller, GPIO, watchdog, and
UART.
Remaining work: the port includes no NOR/NAND flash drivers. No
bootloader is included. I have only tested the PCI bus driver with
the use of one PCI slot on the RouterBOARD 153. It is not possible
to exploit the capabilities of the ethernet switch using bridge(4).
I have only netbooted the ADM5120 on the RB153. Booting other
boards, and booting from flash memory, remains to be done.
Hardware availability: many low-cost routers, including the
RouterBOARD 100 series at RouterBOARD.com, use the Infineon ADM5120
processor.
Credits: Ruslan Ermilov and Vsevolod Lobko ported to the ADM5120,
and they wrote device drivers for the UART, USB controller, and
10/100 switch. Matt Isaacs brought the port up-to-date with
NetBSD-current, made it compile, and ran it first on the RB153.
I added drivers for the PCI controller, GPIO, and watchdog timer.
I produced the bus attachment for the CompactFlash slot with advice
from Mikrotik technical support and from Matt Thomas.
which is automatically included during kernel config, and add comments
to individual machine-dependant majors.* files to assign new MI majors
in MI file.
Range 0-191 is reserved for machine-specific assignments, range
192+ are MI assignments.

This merge changes the device switch tables from static array to
dynamically generated by config(8).
- All device switches is defined as a constant structure in device drivers.
- The new grammer ``device-major'' is introduced to ``files''.
device-major <prefix> char <num> [block <num>] [<rules>]
- All device major numbers must be listed up in port dependent majors.<arch>
by using this grammer.
- Added the new naming convention.
The name of the device switch must be <prefix>_[bc]devsw for auto-generation
of device switch tables.
- The backward compatibility of loading block/character device
switch by LKM framework is broken. This is necessary to convert
from block/character device major to device name in runtime and vice versa.
- The restriction to assign device major by LKM is completely removed.
We don't need to reserve LKM entries for dynamic loading of device switch.
- In compile time, device major numbers list is packed into the kernel and
the LKM framework will refer it to assign device major number dynamically.
