Hi,
here is my IXP42x patch series, which brings my IXP boards back to life after relocation was added.
Some comments:
I added the XScale sub-architecture to the MAINTAINERS list to get a better overview which boards may still need work: [PATCH 01/13] add XScale sub architecture (IXP/PXA) to board list
The NPE library needs a fix for B1 silicon - the special handling is only needed for Rev. A0, but the code treats everything *but* B0 as being the old A0 silicon: [PATCH 02/13] add support for IXP42x Rev. B1 and newer
The dvlhost board has a watchdog that needs to be triggered regularly: [PATCH 03/13] trigger hardware watchdog in IXP42x serial driver
Rework the startup and timer code: [PATCH 04/13] Fix IXP code to work after relocation was added:
make fails during depend pass in the NPE directory, due to missing include files: [PATCH 05/13] fix "depend" target in npe directory
Board updates: [PATCH 06/13] update/fix AcTux1 board [PATCH 07/13] update/fix AcTux2 board [PATCH 08/13] update/fix AcTux3 board [PATCH 09/13] update/fix AcTux4 board
These fixes should be OK (not sure about the environment location on IXDP425 - the old value is inside the monitor area, which seems to be wrong). I do not know if these should be committed, or should be left for the board maintainers: [PATCH 10/13] update/fix some more IXP42x boards (only compile tested)
Add one new board: [PATCH 11/13] add dvlhost (dLAN 200 AV Wireless G) board
Add support for -ffunction-sections / --gc-sections. This cuts the size of u-boot.bin from 288548 bytes down to 226820 bytes on AcTux-3, probably in part due to unused code in the Intel NPE library. I found no way to implement this in board-specific parts, so I added a global option to enable this: [PATCH 12/13] add support for function-sections
Add support for MII links that run at fixed speed, without a PHY with standard registers (ethernet switch on AcTux-2/AcTux-3, powerline modem on dvlhost): [PATCH 13/13] add support for fixed-speed MII ports (no standard PHY registers)
