Yeah, probably. That's a good long term goal too. Now you reverted, I'm under pressure to fix mioa701 to get rid of gpio calls in its board setup code :) As for device tree conversion, well that's another story. For my case for example I'll have to redevelop the bootloader (IPL+SPL) in order for suspend to RAM to work ... no world is perfecgt. Cheers. -- Robert
