Hi Niklas,

Thanks for having a look. I checked what the minimum is: 31 of the 53 
patches (1, 6-24, 26-29, 31-36 and 39) boot a Tezro to a ramdisk with a 
serial console. Two mfd/ioc3 patches have to be part of that, as they 
provide the console UARTs (31 for IOC4 on the Tezro, 36 for the IOC3 on 
the Fuel). The rest separates cleanly into follow-ups: the remaining 
Bridge fixes (2-5), ioc3-eth (25, 38), rtc (30), the IO8 serial IRQs (37), 
machine identification and the Odyssey widget (40-44), ata (45-47, 49), 
the defconfig refresh (48) and the LEDs (50-53).

I’ll wait for Thomas to say whether he prefers it split that way for v3.


Thanks,
Imre
