It definitely is old - Linux mainline has seen 50240 commits since v2.6.38, with 3243564 lines added and 2329522 removed. You probably do not want to consider it obsolete yet... I do. YMMV. > These small patches will be a big help to those of us who need to > support both though, and it's not yet clear how long the kernel > transition will take. The problem is that these changes will cause additional maintenance efforts in the future. I think we have reached a point in time where new boards that get added should only add support for DT baed configurations, and get rid of this MACH_ID crap. Just look at the number of recent board breakages and need of fixes just because IDs get dropped from the mach_id database. I feel efforts would be better invested if they were directed in improving current mainline kernel code.
