Agreed, when I get some time I'll take a look at this again. I now have another PXA based board using built-in UARTs for the debug console so I can test a little more thoroughly. So for now: Acked: Andrew Ruder on the revert. Sorry again for the churn - dropped the ball on this one. > On a more general note, my personal opinion is that in case of PXA, > we should not (yet) block additional board files because of missing DT > support.

I'm more of the opinion that we aren't that far from being able to block board files - I am 100% using device-tree and now have a single kernel that will boot on 3 different Elecsys boards. Not to mention the fact that I can't imagine there's a whole lot of new hardware work in the PXA realm. I have posted the work to my github account (http://github.com/aeruder/linux) but it is tough work getting things cleaned up to not break anyone not using DT (HAH, see this thread), documented, and submitted. I was really hoping the big mmc/DMA rewrite would drop into mainline at some point since that is one of the more terrible hacks I'm still maintaining over here. Cheers, Andy
