Re: [Ltib] Which version of LTIB

[Svein Seldal]

Hi

Freescale released a BSP 2.6.26-3.4.2 on the Mar 23 2009 for the i.MX 
family. It adds support for the 27ads, 31ads, 31_3stack, 35_3stack, 
37_3stack, 51_3stack reference kits. This release includes a handful of 
updates to existing software in LTIB. Maybe most importantly it adds 
support for the xxx_3stack targets, which LTIB CVS Head dont.

Freescale has not uploaded any of the modifications of LTIB nor the GPL 
packages to Savannah CVS/GPP (yet at least). I would personally like to 
see that it is included into the community LTIB. I've washed away all 
non-free code from the release and have now a set of patches ready for 
deployment.

Is this something you guys want at all? Or is this Freescale's job? If 
you do want it, how should I proceed with this? Should I send the entire 
change in a big patch, or should I divide it into like target config, 
one for each package, etc.

Before sending any patches, please let me outline the changes involved. 
Following is a list of all the ltib files involved after washing and 
further down is a list of the new packages that are not present in the GPP.

(I don't expect we want all of these changes, we'd have to review them 
individually. Nor do I expect we can import the imx/ directory straight 
into the config/platform directory -- I would guess another structure 
would be preferred. This is exactly the kind of advice and guidance I 
would like, please.)
