I see them all in linuxppc-dev patchwork. > You'll need to collect ACKs, or get the individual patches merged, and then we > can take patch 8 through the powerpc tree once those are all in - probably for > 4.2. It looks like CONFIG_8xx is used a lot more than CONFIG_PPC_8xx, so it would be less churn to get rid of the latter (plus, we also have CONFIG_4xx, CONFIG_6xx, etc). The only use of PPC_8xx I see outside arch/powerpc is in drivers/watchdog/Kconfig. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
