The new processors in this series as far as I know there is not and no more will be. Existing processors are still produced and used. We use this processor is 4-5 years old and still expect to use in the future. I can look at the new code is correct, but check it can only work on our custom board. Of the new things I would like to add the ability to use gpiolib with this type of processor.{.n++%ݶw{.n+{G{ayʇڙ,jfhz_(階ݢj"mG?&~iOzv^m ?I From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: shc_work@mail.ru (=?UTF-8?B?QWxleGFuZGVyIFNoaXlhbg==?=) Date: Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:04:02 +0400 Subject: =?UTF-8?B?UmVbMl06IGNscHM3MTF4IHBhdGNoc2V0?= In-Reply-To: <201204211140.21564.arnd@arndb.de> References: <1334999490-27177-1-git-send-email-shc_work@mail.ru> <201204211140.21564.arnd@arndb.de> Message-ID: To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Sat, 21 Apr 2012 11:40:21 +0000 ??
