I was supposed to pick it up, just Real Life (tm) got in the way.. I'll  
queue up my pending
patches during this week, and submit them to the arm-kernel list.

On the other hand, if you have questions/patches against the NPE drivers,  
Kryzsztof is the one
you are looking for.

A lot of the stuff in openwrt svn would be nice to see mainline :-)

I'm most interested in
https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/target/linux/ixp4xx/patches-2.6.27/2*-npe_driver*

I'm using these now on an IXP425 and IXP435 with good results.

That fills me with dread.

I don't have the bandwidth to review this stuff, so the only way
progress is going to be made is if that's sorted out first.

I've been asking for a maintainer for IXP4xx stuff, and Imre did
volunteer.  However, if Imre's not able to do so, we need someone
else to take that job on.

So, can someone from the openwrt community (who seem to be the active
IXP4xx folk) volunteer to replace Imre?

No pain, no gain :) You can merge them when you have time - the biggest
problem right now (IMHO) is the lack of central repository for platform
patches - OpenWrt isn't an official one.

That's not necessary, things have settled down. I'll submit the NPE patches
to Krysztof as well, so hopefully everything goes mainline really soon.

Thanks for the answers, and thanks for your efforts, Imre.

I was a bit lost of the person to send my questions to.
