Subject: [patch 0/14] s3c2412/s3c2413 support

This patchset adds various defines and bits for the s3c2412 and s3c2413
processors, as well as adding detection of this cpu to platform setup and
uncompress boot stage.
The changes should not disturb current s3c24xx implementations. The
patchset is preliminary, in that the final datasheet is not yet
available. We
did some testing of these new registers and bits outside of the linux
kernel.

Ahha, it is actually arm derivative. Still it would be nice to have
better name.

Could you

a) describe what kind of beast these CPUs are

and perhaps

b) invent some better name for architecture? What you have seems like
password of *very* paranoid sysadmin.

Well, we could ask samsung to rename their range, but i doubt they will
do so. Actually, there are a lot of these platforms already defined, eg
s3c2410, s3c2440, s3c2400, etc..

But now that you mention it, i could have been more clear about this,
stating that it was a Samsung ARM processor. Sorry about that, i don't
think the issue is worth reposting the entire patchset or am i mistaken?

Best,

Koen

Limiting it to linux-arm-kernel may have been a better
idea, since it is to do with items under arch/arm, the
intended audience should all be subscribed to the list.

In hind-sight, that appears correct. I was just following this line
in section 5 of Documentation/SubmittingPatches:

Unless you have a reason NOT to do so, CC [email protected].

Won't happen again, sorry! Just finding my way through the rites.

Do they have codenames that could actually be pronounced? I doubt
Samsung actually calls them s3c2410 internally.

(Support for sharp zaurus sl-5500 is called 'collie'. You can
pronounce that, and it is code name for that machine...)

No, not worth repost, thanks for info.
