[linuxsh-dev] DC Support on the linuxsh CVS.

[Rene M. <re...@dr...>]

Hi I have discoverd someting strange, and was wandering if you could
help me shead a light on the subject. Acording to the Changelog found i
the CVS kernel (at http://www.linuxsh.com) You have added the following
files on the 26/12-00

2000-12-26  NIIBE Yutaka  <gn...@m1...>

        * drivers/char/Makefile: Added CONFIG_SH_DREAMCAST.
        * drivers/char/maple.{h,c}: New files.
        * drivers/char/dc_keyb.c: New file.

        * drivers/video/Config.in (CONFIG_FB_DC): Added.
        * drivers/video/Makefile (obj-$(CONFIG_FB_DC)): Added.
        * drivers/video/dcfb.c: New file.
        * drivers/video/fbmem.c: Added CONFIG_FB_DC.

        * include/asm-sh/io.h: Added CONFIG_SH_DREAMCAST.
        * include/asm-sh/io_dc.h: New file.
        * include/asm-sh/machvec.h: Added MACH_DREAMCAST.
        * include/asm-sh/keyboard.h (kbd_init_hw): Added code for
        MACH_DREAMCAST.

        * arch/sh/kernel/Makefile (obj-$(CONFIG_SH_DREAMCAST)): Added.
        * arch/sh/kernel/setup_dc.c: New file.
        * arch/sh/kernel/io_dc.c: New file.
        * arch/sh/kernel/mach_dc.c: New file.

        * arch/sh/config.in: Added Dreamcast support, whatever it means.

Unfortunately for some reason all of the files that are reported as new
here don't seem to have made it to the CVS. Applets when I checked
today. Witch is ofcourse is extremely sad, since we are currently
working on the same project (Getting Linux to run on the Dreamcast) and
I think we could benefit greatly from your code. This leaves us in a
interesting state since it appears that the Generic kernel is once again
in a uncompilable state. And silly me ofcourse didn't read the ChangeLog
first before I implemented my (very small) dc patch. Adding support for
the dc RTC. Hence I can't submit my patch since most of the files
conflict with the files witch are missing. It would be nice if you could
bring some light on the subject.
