Right. Greg, note that the u8500 platform is still only partially supported upstream, the majority of the necessary device drivers for having a running system is not there and those drivers keep getting changed in order to be merged upstream. Further, with the move of the platform to device tree based probing, the position of all devices will change as well, to resemble the physical HW layout. Arnd
