It's nice there is someone working on items from target-mips/TODO. By the way, this patchset misses one patch to remove the entry from this file ;-) More seriously, this patchset still has a few problems, but I don't expect them difficult to solve. Please see the comments on different patches. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurelien@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
