Ok. Are you able to make it a compile-time decision whether the old or the new clock code is used?

And BTW, does a combined kernel for PXA > platforms even exists (mixing pxa3xx and pxa2xx for example) ? You can select all machines at compile-time and get a clean build.

And Google wasn't a great friend at providing them. I only looked at the current source code, but pxa26x seems to be basically identical to pxa25x (no relevant code changes at all) and pxa93x uses the same code as pxa3xx, apparently the only difference is the addition of the communication processor.
