Adding support for new BSP

Adding support for new BSP

[Tiwari, Rakesh]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 330 bytes --]

Hi,

We plan to add our (IDT) BSP (board support package) for evaluation boards
based on IDT 32 bit MIPS processors to the main mips-linux 2.6.x kernel.

Can somebody please tell me the procedure/requirements to check-in the new
BSP files into the main kernel tree.

Any suggestions/pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rakesh

Send me a patch; cc'ing linux-mips can't harm.  I'll either apply or
comment the patch.

Take a look at the CodingStyle doc in the Documentation directory first. 
That will save you and Ralf sometime.

Thanks Ralf and Pete.

I will check for the Coding Style compliance and mail you the
