mpc8272ads support in linux-2.4

[Alex Zeffertt]

Hi list,

I have read that the MPC8272ADS board is supported in linux-2.6.  Has
anybody backported this support to linux-2.4.  I am using linux-2.4.25
from ELDK.  If anyone has a patch I would be very grateful if they
sent it to me.

Regards,

Alex Zeffertt

PS Does anyone know where the master PPC patches are kept?  I.e. the
ones you apply to kernels from kernel.org to get all the stuff that
hasn't yet been upstreamed.

Yes, it has been supported within 2.4 tree in bitkeeper days.
The source you can rsync from source.mvista.com (take a look at 
http://penguinppc.org/kernel/.

Actually answer is nowhere AFAIK. Now with git, we are working with 
maintainers, and often with Andrew Morton directly, so ppc patches 
usually are pushed without inbetween place unlike they used to.
