I'm working on OMAP and others, and Jeremy is working on i.MX51 targeting real product. Visible progress has been slow since there is a lot more back end infrastructure work than I was expecting to get the ppc, sparc and microblaze code merged into a common code base and to move away from the whole of_platform bus stuff (so that regular platform drivers work). The alternative would be to add yet another duplicate copy of device tree code to ARM which I will not do, and I know you wouldn't accept anyway. :-) g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
