Hi Tony,

I'm not very happy. I sent this patch 6 months ago and only now 
you commented that needs rework again. This patch is needed 
because all thumb-2 userspace binaries crashing. I want to have
working support for Nokia N900 and not always rebasing and 
changing patches. Also DT still not working on N900 (file contains 
only small subset of devices as in board files plus it is not in 
stable kernel) so I do not want to switch to DT. I need something 
which is working and not something new non-working. I belive that 
you and other kernel guys do not remove all n900 board files until 
every one line will be rewritten to DT and tested that everything 
working. And from this and other conversation it looks for me 
that you are going to do that. So please clarify what you want to 
do (and when) with board-rx51-* files. Aftethat I can decide what 
to do in future.

For now I see this situation something like: I wrote patches, 
send them to ML and after half of year maintainer politely 
rejected them becuase my patches not using new uber cool 
technology with still not working and also was not available half 
year ago. What happen if I find another time to rework this patch 
and send it again in next 2 or 5 months?

Tony, if you did not have time for review this patch months ago 
or you found it only today - no problem, I understand it. But 
what I need to know is what will happen with board-rx51-* files 
(and when?) You can see that DT does not have definitions of all 
n900 hw parts (plus it is not in last 3.11 kernel!) which means 
that DT is not usable for me and other n900 people. This also 
means that I cannot rewrite my patches for DT and test if they 
working.
