Particularly in a > multiboard fashion. Understood. This is the priority and I've probably missed the most critical e-mail traffic on the upstream kernel lists. I'm trying to escalate any blocking issues with upstream support to the right folks at TI if they aren't already aware of any outstanding issues. It seems the USB support is the last major hurdle, but I'm told by the TI team that it is working in the staging tree. I'm trying to track down now if all the right patches are indeed staged at an upstream maintainer or not (as I might not have completely understood and I'd like to know exactly where they are staged if someone wants to bring them in early). _______________________________________________ arm mailing list arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/arm
