[PATCH v3] powerpc 8xx: Fixing issue with CONFIG_PIN_TLB

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Tue Sep 17 2013 - 13:09:34 EST


Activating CONFIG_PIN_TLB is supposed to pin the IMMR and the first three
8Mbytes pages. But the setting of the MD_CTR was missing so as the index is
decremented every DTLB update, the pinning of the third 8Mbytes page was
overwriting the DTLB entry for IMMR. At the same time, the last entry written
being entry 31, next entries would possibly get overwritten after.
We are now starting from entry 31 and decrementing.
