(BTW I had not clue the 68K maintainer had a platform like this, fun!)Note that this platform is one of those we talked about removing from the kernel for potentially being completely unused.This clock stuff was a lackmus test from my side. The idea was that if noone tested the patches I would instead propose a patch deleting the platform. Guess what: Greg jumps out like jack-in-the-box.
That is annoying :-)
I suspect some of these platforms may have more users than we believe.
I know the guys at www.opengear.com are still building hardware around the KS8695. And they update to modern kernels from time to time. So its not completely obsolete yet. I have some SnapGear boards based around it too, though they went out of production about 2 years ago.
