Oh, I'm not saying don't enjoy it. :-) I'm just saying keep it out of mainline. I've got a bunch of Virtex stuff that falls into that category. Those who are interested can pick the non mainlined patches out of my git tree. I suggest doing the same with the GPIO support. Either that or do our own simple ppc specific GPIO multiplexer until the common stuff has its act together. :-) We can always migrate over later. I don't want to see more barriers added to prevent all of 8xxx going multiplatform. Cheers, g. -- Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng. Secret Lab Technologies Ltd. grant.likely@secretlab.ca (403) 399-0195
