Its all out of tree using out device tree driven machine instantiation but we are toying with the idea of moving away from that in favour of -device and friends (2100 less lines out of tree code for me), once the aforementioned fixes to sysbus/gpio go through. ARM MPTimer will still be one of the IPs we will want to dynamically create however. Regards, Peter > -- PMM >
