Why not? You're the only one showing interest in supporting 5200 in 2.6. Post the patch and if it's clean it can go in. The "i2c", I assume, is an i2c host adapter driver so that needs to be separated so it can go to gregkh. Don't lump it in with the include/asm-ppc and arch/ppc core support. :) -Matt ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
