Yes, though at the moment it just expects 7751R. You can add 7751 to the
depends on, though.

You can either use Linus's tree directly or sh-2.6.git:

	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lethal/sh-2.6.git

I usually have Linus pull once a week or so, so either one is fine. There
are a few things there that will be bound for -rc2 already.

In any event, we'll certainly keep the board around now that we know
what the intent is, which is usually what these sorts of board removal
suggestions aim to stir up :-)
