Ah yes, now you mention it ... And still that doesn't frighten me that much, and certainly much less than clocks or dma stuff. Only the headers might be troublesome, and pxafb will certainly be a big rework, but that's for the next step :) As for the per-board header files, as long as they're used only within mach-pxa and not outside (ie. not in drivers) I must admit I don't see what might be a problem. As for XIP support, I don't have a clear view if it's a requirement for multiplatform nor if it works in these builds. > I think all of them are theoretically doable, but I wasn't expecting > to ever get there. Well, that makes me a goal to reach, doesn't it ? I'll stick to optimism here, and we'll see within a year how far I manage to go :) Cheers. -- Robert -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
