Yah, I saw the flame war at one point (let's not start it again please).

As long as they keep making chips I really don't care if they are
supporting the kernel code or not. I have pretty much switched over to
the mainline code except for the video driver. And that one I have
drastically modified/updated to work with the 2.6.25 kernel.

Right now I do have a need for the debounce patch. I'm willing to submit
an updated patch for the 2.6.25 kernel if interested.

I also have a kernel driver to dump the internal bootrom if you want it.

Thanks,
Hartley
