[PATCH] SoC: AT91: at91sam9g10ek: Impossible to detect the SOC type

[Ivan Shugov]

Hi! I'm working on a custom board based on at91sam9g10ek, so the same
port of linux kernel is used.

Linux kernel version: 3.6.1

Problem: SoC for at91sam9g10 device can't be detected, so the kernel can't
boot.

Reason: 'cidr' register in 'static void __init soc_detect(u32 dbgu_base)'
 from 'arch/arm/mach-at91/setup.c' at line '154' is checked for
ARCH_ID_AT91SAM9G10 coincidence, before masking AT91_CIDR_VERSION bit. So
the console output with earlyprintk enabled is:

//================================================

Linux version 3.6.1 (user-0 at debian-OS) (gcc version 4.5.2 (Sourcery
G++ Lite 2011.03-42) ) #10 Wed Oct 10 15:02:35 EDT 2012

CPU: ARM926EJ-S [41069265] revision 5 (ARMv5TEJ), cr=00053177

Machine: Atmel AT91SAM9G10-EK

Ignoring tag cmdline (using the default kernel command line)

bootconsole [earlycon0] enabled

Memory policy: ECC disabled, Data cache writeback

//================================================

Solution: replace 'cidr' with 'socid'
