Hi,

I'm trying to get current modern Linux kernels to boot on the i.MX31 PDK
board (a.k.a MX31_3DS).

One problem I've noticed is that I have to comment out the following code
from mach-mx31_3ds.c, the reserve function is registered as
mach_desc->reserve . If I leave this function as is the kernel stops very
early in the boot (see end of the mail).

static void __init mx31_3ds_reserve(void)
{
        /* reserve MX31_3DS_CAMERA_BUF_SIZE bytes for mx3-camera */
        mx3_camera_base = arm_memblock_steal(MX31_3DS_CAMERA_BUF_SIZE,
                                         MX31_3DS_CAMERA_BUF_SIZE);
}

The mx31_3ds_reserve() was used for reserving the buffer for the old
mx3_camera driver.

The mx3_camera driver has been removed since c93cc61475ebbe6 ("[media]
staging/media: remove deprecated mx3 driver"), so I would suggest you
to send a patch that just removes mx31_3ds_reserve().

Thanks
