The 2.4.17 tree on Steven J. Hill's website is functional, I can give it
  to you if you cant find it, just let me know.

By the way, when I refer to functional is for the TX3912 generic stuff,
one thing for sure is that you _WILL_ need to make an specific machine
directory for the mobilon, and you can use the same code for it, after
removing the non-generic tx3912 stuff and perhaps changing some stuff
that matters only to the mobilon.

You can also try hacking on the nino files as if you were using a nino.

P.D. Remove the html tags
