I don't know what you're trying to achieve. This does not add support for the BCM2708.I'm trying to get upstreaming started, a little bit at a time. Right now, all work has been done outside the regular Linux ARM community. I feel it'd be much better to start feeding the work upstream. This will provide much better exposure for the work, and put it into a place that's more obvious for users, and useful for distros. Obviously, the next step after this patch is to upstream the interrupt controller and timer, to resolve the problem mentioned above. There's certainly still much more to do after that.
I think it would be good to get those reviewed and submitted in time for the merge window, to have something that actually boots. I agree that for review purposes starting out with just the minimal patch was a good idea, but when the other stuff looks reasonable, we should also try to get it in at the same time. Arnd
