Yes, this would be possible, too. But then, it appears you are the
only remaining active user of MPC82xx. OK, MPC8247 is actually still
marked as "active" at Freescale, soory I missed that - the MPC824x
types I checked were in "No Longer Manufactured" state.
The thing is that there are tons of interdependencies an #defines that
need to be checked so we don't leave too many unused #defines and such
around.
I see several options now:
1) We apply the patch as is, and if you really have to modify your
code you would do this out-of-tree based on the last frozen
version.
2) I rework the patch to remove only the MPC826x / MPC828x code.
3) I rework the patch to remove only the broken boards - which are
these actually?
Tom, what is your opinion here?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
