RE: PATCH: linux_2_4: add support for the Ocelot-G board

Well, technical similarity is a decent metric... but, here's what
we've got:

Ocelot:	RM7000 with GT-64120
Ocelot-G:	RM7000 with GT-64240
Ocelot-C:	RM7000 with MV-64340 (Marvell bought Galilleo, hence the MV
designation)
Ocelot-CS:	SR71000 with MV-64340
Jaguar:	RM9000x2 (which is really just a dual-core RM7000) with
MV-64340

So they're all similar.  The bridges are all related to each other,
tho not fully software compatible (they are decently close, however).
The processors are all related (the SR71000 is a pin-compatible
replacement for the RM7000).

They share lots of support elements (i.e. control FPGAs, etc).

I'd argue that they are similar enough to all be lumped together.

Yes?  No?
