Ok, good to hear that you're still interested! I don't get the impression that migrating ixp4xx to DT is urgent in any way, but I also don't think it will be too much work. If all you want to do is allow the board files to be replaced with DT, then I assume you need bindings for the flash, ethernet and CF devices and convert the interrupt controller to use irq domains. For PCI, it should be enough to provide a generic map_irq function that uses the standard interrupt-maps property. That function can even be defined in a way that is usable independent of the platform. Arnd
