Re: [PATCH] ppc: Marvell mv64x60 drivers for ppc platforms fix

The mv64x60 driver has no support for compiling as a module. Built-in only.
Yeah I expected that that is the case right now. Could be fixed later though.
And I think there is no much sense in making the driver which provide you with such a base stuff as a boot console, ethernet, etc. to be a LKM.
That's orthogonal to expressing it as one "module" in Kbuild, which is really just about grouping highly interdependent stuff together. But anyway, your patch looks good, I was just suggesting to clean it up some more. You don't have to do it now if you don't want to, I'm sure it will happen later :-) [Oh, and don't top-post.]
