Well I think it makes sense to not call this dead code as long as it *can be* enabled and used on another supported board (for that matter, any OMAP3+ board will indeed do). This is very different from e.g. the regulator code that I submitted, which is only relevant for devices with that particular piece of hardware (so far, none supported by U-Boot). So it makes sense to submit that regulator patch only along with support for a board that uses it. -- Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant developer Replicant is a fully free Android distribution Website: http://www.replicant.us/ Blog: http://blog.replicant.us/ Wiki/tracker/forums: http://redmine.replicant.us/
