Here is a 2.6.12 patch:

It seems to work about as well as 2.6.11 on the SPHERE (execpt for USB host, which as noted earlier doesn't work in 2.6.12 yet).

I tried to nuke every IO_ADDRESS that was ep93xx specific.

I was not able to test any boards other than the SPHERE (and I haven't had much testing time on the SPHERE). I also didn't test drivers for hardware that doesn't exist on the SPHERE.

Hope this is useful.

Here is a patch to apply on top of the 2.6.11.7-ep93xx patch that:

1. Removes the IO_ADDRESS macro 


I like the idea, but there are two problems so far:
- I get plenty of failed hunks when applying against linux-2.6.12-ep93xx
- not all files that contain "IO_ADDRESS" are covered.

Could you send me a patchset that can be applied against
linux-2.6.12-ep93xx and fixes every single occurence of IO_ADDRESS?
(including related stuff like uncompress.h)

If yes, please give me an estimate. If no, please tell me either, then
I'll have to forward port this patch to linux-2.6.12-ep93xx on my own.

Roadmap:

1. Fix the USB thing (I've got two patches, both still cause troubles)
2. Fix the IO_ADDRESS
3. Care about points 2.-6. from below


2. Includes PCMCIA support
3. Adds our SPHERE board (EP9315)
4. Fixes a few minor bugs in the fb driver
5. Adds a probe function to the fb driver that allows the kernel to use
video already configured by the bootloader.
6. Change the touchscreen driver to allow it to work with Xfbdev and
real mice

Notes:

Unlike the earlier patch PCMCIA and IDE both work (although not DMA for
IDE).



great!
