That is correct.

We at Lineo are actually in the process of getting all of the 7707
peripherals supported by the kernel. That includes the FB for the LCD
display, ADC, DAC, etc ... I was planning to create a "7707 processor"
entry, or leave 7709 and create a "7707-only peripherals" config entry
somewhere else, once we start have working drivers. Which approach do you
think is better ?

Take care,
