Type 2028 appears to be the Didj, allocated by one of the OpenWiz guys. I will use that. While the merge window is still open, is it kosher to send patches to this list for upstream? I have a few patches that don't rely on the arch-lf1000/arch-pollux code that I'd like to unload. I know that I'm new to this part of the kernel, but I think I'm learning quickly. ~ C. -- When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir? ~ Keynes Corbin Simpson
