Mark A. Greer in his patch to port sandpoint to arch/powerpc put sandpoint.dts under arch/powerpc/boot/dts/sandpoint.dtsI believe in his latest patches he removed this part. The device trees were not included at all and he left this point open for discussion.
That's correct. TBH, I think its wrong to keep them in the kernel source at all--yes, the same argument could be made for arch/powerpc/boot but that's been settled. We already have dtc kept externally to the kernel source. Why not keep a single site where all things necessary to powerpc linux are kept? It could house dtc, the dt attach tool, and all the dt source files. I doesn't matter to me where as long as its highly available and has reasonable bandwidth. jdl.com? source.mvista.com? penguinppc.org? other? Mark
