arm: mxc: changes to common plat-mxc code to add support for i.MX5
Amit, I would suggest you refactor the timer code into version 1 and version 2 either as 2 separate files or with a timer_is_v2() function rather than the mess of cpu_is_X macros it currently has. Essentially there are 2 versions of the timer hardware. Version 1 is found on MX1/MXL and MX21. Version 2 is found o... 3 Dec 2009 22:43

I did not get this ready for the merge window, but people asked what the status of this is so I'm posting it now to solicit feedback. The first patch just adds some hooks into macvlan.c and is less invasive than the previous version. That part should be fine and I'd like this to get merged into macvlan for 2.6.33... 3 Dec 2009 13:43
