I am working on an embedded PPC 405 controller. We started with 2.4.2 sources from mvista.com, which seem quite close to kernel.org. And the main MTD web page says "Very occasionally, I make snapshot releases. Now that the MTD code is in the 2.4 kernel, it's become even rarer. ", which I took to mean that the kernel.org sources were up to date. But now I had occasion to look at the stuff I grabbed from the infradead cvs repository. It looks rather different. For example, mtd/drivers/mtd in the infradead sources seems to have files I find in linux/drivers/mtd in kernel.org sources, but the infradead sources are more elaborate and have sub-directories. I guess my next move is to drop that infradead sub-tree into the linux/drivers/mtd directory and see what happens. (I think we need to directly link, not be a loadable module, so the sources need to be merged.) Is this what I want? Thanks, -kb, the Kent who hopes to get JFFS working on top of MTD.
