Subject: Re: OF files

Hi All,

I move prom_parse.c to drivers/of.
of_platform.c was completely moved to drivers/of/platform.c
Functions from of_device.c was moved to drivers/of/device.c except
of_device_make_bus_id.
Prom.c file was cleaned - I remove all PPC specific code.

You can check it in my git tree (git.monstr.eu) or wait for next set of patches.

Michal
