Sure there is, for it to be accepted.
Wait a minute, why am I even talking to you? Mark said he is the responsible
maintainer and promised to push my patch in a few days if there is no consensus
by then, and I think I'll just wait a few days and then ask him to stick to his
word. (I'm willing to bet $50 that in the next few days there will be no
consensus nor will anyone else offer a counterpatch.)
Well, If I remember right, Mark doesn't even have a galileo board anymore
(someone else got it). So I could probably make an argument I'm the
maintainer now.

And would you please make it
versus the _galileo tree
Sorry, no, that would be a step backward and we need to move forward.
I strongly suggest you submit me (or the -galileo) list patches, otherwise
when I start merging the _galileo tree code to _devel, I'm likely to blow
your changes away because I can't test them.

And PLEASE give me a different eth driver ;)

The one in the tree right now works for single cpus, but
a) is ugly
b) blows up very nicely with SMP.


The _galileo tree was created to keep us from thrashing in _devel with a
bunch of crappy (but working) code.

FYI, I am about ready to merge Zuma's gt64260_mpsc driver to 2_4_devel
since it seems to work reasonably well, and the code is mostly sane. If
you have another mpsc driver, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Mine broke.  I'm supposed to get one yesterday/today/tomorrow.  No FedEx guy so far
today...

Yep, mine broke when switching cpu's.  Was supporting it underneath & everything but I
guess I did it one too many times...

Now that things are settling down a bit -- who's got which tree running on which
platform and in what condition?  Basically, what's the conditon of the 2_4_galileo and
2_4_devel tree's on EVB, MVP, (etc) -- SMP y/n, PCI cards (scsi, ide, etc) y/n,
running solid y/n, and under which boot environment (dink, ppcboot, starmon, etc)?

I have _gal and _devel running on the EVB and _gal running our custom
board with ppcboot. Both are stable; the _gal has a bunch of other stuff
and random bug fixes in it. _devel does not work on our custom board due
to ethernet bugs, mpsc problems, and no 750cx support. _devel does also
not work 100% with ppcboot since it does not support bd_info afaik.

We are using the 750cx(e). We do not use DINK. We do have an Abatron.

Note that our evb is showing signs of breaking (the cpu module slot seems
to be a real weak point), so we may end up just like Mark any second now.
