Getting ownership for various boards/platforms configs

Getting ownership for various boards/platforms configs

[Kumar Gala]

One issue that comes up from time to time is knowing who to contact 
about some of the various boards that are supported for PPC.  I've 
suggested in the past that we create a MAINTAINERS file in 
arch/ppc/platforms.  I've started with a list of all the _defconfigs 
that we have and would like to see if we can get contacts for the 
boards.  All this list is meant to be is a contact point.

The following is the list, I'll keep a live copy at 
http://gate.crashing.org/~galak/platform-owners.  Once it gets flushed 
out I'll turn it into file that looks more like the toplevel 
MAINTAINERS file.  If we dont have any owners for a board we can 
discuss if support for it should be removed.  Please email me if you 
feel you are the owner of any board/config.

thanks

Two things:

1) What is "common" in your list?

2) On a slightly different note...if no one volunteers to look after the 
following ones, I vote to remove them:

Are there others?

Good question, hopefully Paul knows.  I just did an ls in 
arch/ppc/configs/ to create the list.

There is another issue..

May I suggest to add one full-custom board?
There are a lot of changes to do inside uart,fec,fcc drivers with a lot
of #ifdefs,
just because different use of mpc resources on different boards.
Why it's not configured via menuconfig?
Another nice example is inside status_led.h...

Pegasos II is CHRP, hence under common (and BenH will take care of it? ;-).

Yup, and Sven Luther is the actual maintainer of that bit of chrp.

Great!  There are some changes to head.S that I have been wanting to
make for a while: specifically I want to remove the special case for
starting the second processor on gemini and the call to
gemini_prom_init.

Does current 2.6 work on gemini?

Paul.

Yes, you may remove the special case for starting the second processor
and the call to gemini_prom_init.  I'm currenting in the middle of
getting our stuff over to 2.6, so the current answer would be no.
