Clemens,

I would to just use 2.6.10 as starting point and get that working.  The=20=

amount of changes to board code is about 100 lines to go from OCP to=20
platform_device.  I should be releasing patches for this upstream today=20=

and will CC the linuxppc-embedded list, so if you really want them you=20=

can get them, but I dont think its worth the pain for you.
