:) Are the guts mostly the same, and if so why wasn't the existing driver just modified to do the device tree probing, perhaps in addition to the arch/ppc method? I can answer the "are they similar" myself with inspection, but I just haven't found the time yet. So just some history about the patch would be good in general I think. josh _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
