Well, I have a different opinion, and that's all there is to it. However, differing opinions aren't tolerated within the kernel community even if they are equally valid, so I'll just shut up about after this mail. > And?

You seem to have missed something in that paragraph. If it's exactly identical, there isn't a problem. :) > And Armada 370 is really a mvebu architecture: it's even supported in > mach-mvebu/, while Kirkwood and Dove are not (yet). Maybe it should be mach-kirkwood and not mach-mvebu by your reasoning then! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
