I'm currently working with a Toradex board featuring a Colibri PXA270 module, and I noticed this attempt to get a Colibri PXA270 patch applied

... which seems it didn't get anywhere further than so.
The conclusion, or should I say request, from there was to make more parts re-used within the source tree to reduce code duplication and I can only agree with that.
Seeing that this is a PXA(270) equipped board, wouldn't it make sense to do some of the low level init etc stuff in the cpu-specific area (cpu/pxa/) ? The entire gpio handling (and similar) is after all common for all PXA270 isn't it?
So, is there anyone with more specific thoughts or opinions on this? What can I do to push this forward to the next level?
In case you do that, please call the board 'colibri-pxa270' in folder and config file names, not just 'colibri' like in the version you referred to above. There are versions of that modules with pxa3[012]0 CPUs which are entirely different and need extra care.
I submitted a patch to support that module 1,5 years ago - if you miss some pieces, you might have a look here:

Bringing this in shape is a good idea, though.
