Hi - I am double posting this on both: linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org and
etux@embeddedtux.org, hoping to 
increase the audience and, hence, to maximize the number of responses (if
only the same people read both mail lists,
why such duplicate redundant mail lists exist ?)

I recognize and highly appreciate what Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de> wrote (to
me) on etux@embeddedtux.org:

>Forget the combination of a 2.6 kernel and  a  MPC8xx  processor  for

But at least (I thought) I should be able to build the 2.6 kernel for 8xx.
So firstly I ran into I2C "no-current-support-for-8xx" (see details in the
listed below e-mail chain) ...

Then I took the I2C configuration out and tried to build the kernel again -
but I am still getting errors
(not sure though whether cross-compiler "contributes" to those recent errors
or not ... - I would, as always,
 appreciate any opinion/input ! ):

Make zImage

  CHK     include/linux/version.h
make[1]: `arch/ppc/kernel/asm-offsets.asm' is up to date.
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  CC      arch/ppc/8xx_io/uart.o

Thanks,
Best Regards,
Alex

It looks like someone that has an interest in
using the CPM I2C (which isn't me) will need to port it first to 2.6,
then provide the board specific functions for set up and control.

On top of this, if you want to run the SMBus protocols, you will
need a much more complex CPM I2C functions.

Because no one ever sent me the patch with those files in it?  :)

I have no idea, I've not cross built this driver before.

It might, I've seen i2c drivers in different arch specific trees (like
sh for example I know has a few.)

Alexander, what arch are you building for?

thanks,

Hm, looks like the 8xx i2c algorithm was never ported to Linux 2.6. Greg,
how come that the RPX adapter driver is present in the tree and the
algorithm it depends on isn't?

I don't think it'll work. The header file is one thing, the algorithm
driver is another and you would need to port both (they proabbly won't
work out of the box due to important changes in the i2c subsystem
between 2.4 and 2.6 kernels). Also, obviously the RPX adapter driver
couldn't be used so far so it was possibly never tested. There will
probably be much porting and debugging work if you want to get it to
work.

Greg, could it be that an arch-specific (m68k? don't know what this
rpx/8xx thing is) variant of the Linux tree already has the i2c-algo-8xx
driver ported to 2.6? We probably want to import it into the main tree
if this is the case (having adapter drivers that won't compile doesn't
sound good...)

Alexander, at any rate, there's not much I can do myself, as I don't
have compatible hardware to port/test/debug the i2c-algo-8xx and i2c-rpx
drivers. Sorry.

Thanks,
