No one is trying to push ugly bits out of their domain - this is being driven by Linus, who is trying to convert Versatile to DT. There is no other agenda here. Remember, I was the one who wrote the CLCD driver, and it was written to support the boards at the time using the best methods at the time. Things change, people's ideas of what's acceptable change. What was acceptable when classes of boards were separate is no longer acceptable with single zImage. The board specific parts of CLCD were in arch/arm for a very long time, but that gets in the way of single zImage, and the solution adopted by the newly interested parties has been to move them to drivers/video to keep things working. That's how we're here: there isn't a conspiracy as you seem to be thinking. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
