It may help to ask for these at https://github.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/, I already contacted them about mv78xx0. I tried to find out how the Linkstation/Terastation board files map to the dts files, but couldn't figure it out either. It seems they want to keep supporting all those machines and can probably help out ensure that there are dts files for each one. Arnd
