If you have to put significant effort into either a forward port of the board code, or a backport of crypto and/or 82xx arch/powerpc support, it's more useful long-term to get yourself unstuck from the old kernel -- and people will be more interested in offering support. > Redefining the address of CPM in the dts file, the kernel "io_block_map" > properly that address without no more code? You can try it, but you're on your own. That was a very early attempt at support for 82xx in arch/powerpc. I do not recommend using it at all, much less sinking extensive backporting work into it. Things change for a reason. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
