Getting ownership for various boards/platforms configs

At least I wrote a bootloader that remapped my MVME2400/2600/2700 to look like an MVME5100 (CHRP memory map but residual data and no OF). This allows much larger windows to map to the VME bus (which is often very sparsely populated). The only real difference at boot between MVME5100 and pplus is the mapping of physical addresses to PCI I/O and memory space, and perhaps also the way to access the console device. But I don't have any MVME5100 nor do I plan do buy one (perhaps an MVME6100 but the host bridge is completely different). The question is whether we want a residual data to pseudo OF device-tree translator in the bootloader or another way of passing board data to the kernel. Gabriel

I'm currenting in the middle of getting our stuff over to 2.6, so the current answer would be no. -- -Rob

Gabriel, Agreed, but the question on the table is ownership of the current code. - kumar On Jun 8, 2005, at 4:24 AM, Gabriel Paubert wrote: On Tue, Jun 07, 2005 at 04:47:35PM -0500, Kumar Gala wrote: The following boards have no owners and if they dont get one the plan is to kill them: ep405 mvme5100 pcore Actually mvme5100 and pplus could easily be merged with generic PreP IIRC.

I've suggested in the past that we create a MAINTAINERS file in arch/ppc/platforms. I've started with a list of all the _defconfigs that we have and would like to see if we can get contacts for the boards. All this list is meant to be is a contact point. There is another issue.. May I suggest to add one full-custom board? There are a lot of changes to do inside uart,fec,fcc drivers with a lot of #ifdefs, just because different use of mpc resources on different boards. Why it's not configured via menuconfig? Another nice example is inside status_led.h...
