Good morning.
I would like to port a bsp (for the motorola MVME5500 sbc) to the =
current (2.6.22.6) kernel.
Should i implement it in arch/powerpc ?
If i should do it in arch/powerpc, can i copy some code i need in =
arch/ppc ? For example, with kernel 2.6.18.1 i used =
arch/ppc/syslib/todc_time and arch/ppc/syslib/pci_auto, but perhaps i =
don't need it anymore ?
Is there any recommandation for arch/powerpc implementation ?
Thank you.
Paul.

Yes. arch/ppc is bug fix only at this point.

I'm not sure those will work well in arch/powerpc. But obviously some
code porting is expected.
