linuxppc tree with mv64xxx included?

[Ron Bianco]

I'm trying to locate the correct bitkeeper or other URL to get access to a
linux 2.5 or 2.6 tree that includes the support for the marvell mv64xxx
series chips.
I've examined the emails in this list regarding related patches for clues,
but am still confused.

Tried bk://ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.5, but there is no marvell code.

We downloaded a 2.4.23 kernel tree directly from the marvell website, but it
is lacking some things like i2c for marvell, that have been discussed here.
Was further work, existing in some other tree, based on this?

FYI, we're bringing up a custom MPC7447A based board with the mv64462.

Thanks in advance,

Ron Bianco

Its in there along with a couple boards that use it.  Note that the core 
code is in arch/ppc/syslib in 2.6.  The name of the main core file is 
mv64x60.c.

There are also several patches sitting in the mm tree waiting to go in.  
One of those patches adds an i2c driver.

There is Marvell code in that tree. Look in drivers/net/mv64*,
arch/ppc/syslib/mv*

Some boards are already ported. See arch/ppc/platforms/*

You'll also find the Marvell code in the "mainline" at

bk://linux.bkbits.net/linux-2.6

i2c and several other improvements are in queue. Check the archives for
patches.

The latest ethernet code can be obtained from
bk://farnsworth.bkbits.net/linux-2.5-mv643xx-enet

Thanks James and Mark,

I should have searched it rather than looking in 2.4 tree locations. :-P
We're going with 2.5 (2.6), but still getting familiar... many improvements
over 2.4.23.
