Clearly ARCH_MVEBU v7 cannot. What i need to determine is if ARCH_KIRKWOOD and ARCH_MVEBU v5 will go into one binary. I _think_ the answer is no, but i need to take a closer look. What i suspect we will end up doing it dropping the last patch for the moment and ensuring ARCH_KIRKWOOD still supports all the DT machines. I think that just needs care with arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile. Once we have the last four converted over to DT, you can then do a straight swap, mach-kirkwood for mach-mvebu. I will get back to you in a couple of days once i have this all figured out. Andrew
