I have been keeping an occasional eye on these patches but I don't see any usefulness for the currently supported C6X chips. The current set of supported chips use a completely different DDR controller. There is an EMIF controller on some which provides a parallel bus for connecting to external devices (NOR flash, etc) but it looks completely different from the OMAP EMIF. I think the TI DaVinci chips have EMIF (and other IO blocks) similar to C6X which could use common drivers. --Mark
