Deprecated is probably a poor choice of words, but if you are indeed bringing up a new platform, doing so on the newest Kernel you can find will ensure that bringing in newer changes from the time you begin your work will be easier. The L-O tree is already about 2.6.30, so you're essentially 3 revisions out and you're just setting yourself up for a bunch of work to port numerous changes into your Kernel. And as Greg KH would probably say, 5 months in Kernel development land is a really long period of time. :) -- Ashwin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
