You can also pull it from the 'virtex-forupstream' branch of my git tree if you prefer: git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6.git virtex-forupstream Cheers, g. --- original description: The Virtex support in Linus' tree is a mess. When I ported the common devices over to using the platform bus I tried the use the ppc_sys infrastructure. ppc_sys is intended for SoCs that have a fixed set of devices. It is the *wrong* approach for FPGA support, and I made a royal mess of things. This patch set fixes that problem and makes a number of other changes that make supporting Virtex boards easier. I do know that changes to arch/ppc are frowned upon at the moment. However, 4xx support in arch/powerpc is not merged yet, and Virtex support needs additional work beyond that. I suspect that arch/ppc support for the 4xx parts is going to need to stay alive for the next 2-3 kernel releases anyway while arch/powerpc support stablizes. Getting these patches in will make it easier to support the Virtex ports while I hack on getting arch/powerpc stuff figured out.
