Re: [Ltib] LTIB port for mcp8270

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

Stuart,

I understand the intent of Freescale to focus on newer devices.  I also
understand the concept of servicing what you sell. 

That being said... I should have some spare cycles this weekend.  I will
take a look at crafting a 2.6.x kernel for mcp82xx devices. 


Regards,


-Joseph
