I'm interested in Ethernet. I assume it uses drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mv643xx_eth.c?A while ago, we had a discussion with Ben Dooks (from CodeThink) on whether a new driver was needed or not. Ben will correct me if I'm wrong, but he was suggesting that a new driver was not needed, but both Marvell engineers and my comparison of the datasheets between A370/AXP and older Marvell EBU SoCs clearly show that this IP has changed dramatically, and is even not the same IP as before. If needed, I can post the network driver code in a RFC state, but it is clearly not yet ready for inclusion.
I would certainly like to see that if possible, it'd definitley help my analysis of the problem.
I would of course be happy to test SATA patches for the Armada XP. Ian, did you reuse the plat-orion/addr-map.c code to do the window setup? Best regards, Thomas
The code is very similar, and could probably be merged with that. is plat-orion meant to now be common to orion, kirkwood, and armada? the window setup code looks horrid to me - we really should look for a way to pass this in nicely.
