Which is of course nice, but then 2.6.10 was released in late 2004 so that's more than 2.5 years old now ... :) > This is typical port and forget behavior from the chip vendor so that > they can get a checkbox for Linux support. Someday one would hope customers stop treating old forks as if they were real support ... until it's merged into the kernel.org tree it's not really what most people expect from Linux! > If we pick the CPU I'll work on getting the support fully merged. Which would necessarily include updating to 2.6.current, and would almost certainly not start with the USB parts. :) ISTR that 2.6.10 didn't quite have all the OTG bits in place for the original work. Some of the stuff Philips (now NXP, I guess) did shouldn't have been needed. They certainly didn't really try to improve the existing framework... - Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
