I have no idea how much of that lot is going to get DTified, > but I'm guessing the older stuff won't be? Well, my understanding is that there's DT patches around for Versatile. OMAP and MX5 are both heading for DT. I'm less certain about the Orion and Kirkwood stuff, but as they're only about 4 years old, I would hope that there was some active movement for these. The iop32x and ixp4xx stuff hasn't seen much in the way of maintenance so its highly likely that these won't be converted to DT unless someone with the hardware decides to step up and do it. So, that means your list should reduce down to five kernels, or three if the Orion/Kirkwood stuff gets converted to DT. -- 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/
