New PXA250 patch available: diff-2.5.59-rmk1-pxa1

A new patch providing support for the Intel XScale-PXA2xx
architecture to the ARM Linux kernel as just been released.

The patch is available from:

  ftp://source.mvista.com/pub/xscale/pxa/
  ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/people/nico/

Build Documentation:

  http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/docs/kerncomp.shtml

This patch is pretty much a work in progress to resynch the PXA support with
the 2.5.x kernel, and to give a chance for others to get involved with a
good reference to start with.  Note that only the reference is good since 
many things are still missing/broken.  Notably:

 - the frame buffer needs porting to the new fb API;
 - the Lubbock PCMCIA support needs fixing, preferably using the comon
   SA1111 PCMCIA support module;
 - the MMC block driver needs updating with the new block interface;
 - the UDA1400 touchscreen driver needs to be fixed;
 - I2C not merged yet;
 - cpufreq not merged yet;
 - probably some other things that I forget.

Things that should work in this patch:

 - MTD mad driver for PXA;
 - serial ports and serial console;
 - IRDA;
 - UDA1400/AC97 audio (using the OSS interface for now);
 - SMC91C96 on Lubbock;

Any help for missing parts is welcome.  The frame buffer is one particular 
driver I won't do.

Have fun!


Nicolas
