Excellent news, many thanks Nokia :-) This saves our N8x0 tablets from 
bitrotting. And hopefully 770 too. Now it actually makes sense to beat 
linux-omap into working shape for all current tablets giving them extra 
life for years.

I wonder what kernel will Fremantle use. Would be nice to run it with 
same kernel and switch between wi-fi stacks on the fly.

Will definitely try. 770 support comes to my mind first, current 
stlc45xx_readXX/writeXX code uses SPI framework, 770 has the chip 
connected over McBSP port. Should be posible to either resurrect direct 
McBSP code back or maybe add its driver it into SPI framework.
