So... Returning to the main question. I have code for using SSP and
SPI in IXP4XX, and it is based in the PXA2XX. The main problem is that
I do not want to add whole new files for what is clearly just a
modification. However the original code is not accesible because it is
in the mach-pxa2xx directories.

Which decision should I take so that my changes have greater chances
of been accepted? Moving the files of pxa2xx or creating new ones? Or
this is just a bad decision and I should not use the code of pxa2xx at
all?

Thanks
