This code is used in OpenWrt with an out of tree arch code for the
Atheros 231x/531x SoC. [0] I do not think anyone is working on adding
this code to mainline Linux kernel, because of lack of time/interest.
Sorry, we don't maintain out of tree code.
Oleksij, Jonathan do you still working to make ar231x devices work
with upstream, since your posts [1, 2]? Or may be someone from OpenWRT
team would like to add upstream support?

Hi,
my current target was to provide barebox and openocd support.
- ar2313 is already upstream on barebox.
- ar2315-2318 (barebox) awaiting review by Anthony Pavlov.
- openocd (EJTAG) support is ready and i'll push it ASUP.
WOW, Impressive.
That's a nice toy project, although since there are is an existing
bootloader with sources, I would have shifted the priority towards
getting the kernel support merged such that the bootloader can be used
for something. BTW I sent a few devices to Jonathan, not sure if he
ever got those...

I hope Jonathan do kernel part. If not, i can provide some work, since i
have testing boards and expiriance on this hardware.
If you need, I can test kernel part, or even do some porting work. I
have some AR231x based boards, e.g. Ubnt LS2 and NS2.
I guess you could start splitting the OpenWrt patches into a format
that makes them suitable for being merged upstream and starting with
the MIPS parts. There might be a bunch of checkpatch.pl cleanup work
to do before getting those submitted.
