Since I put it out there that we need to upgrade the kernel, I might as
well make a patch that attempts to do that.

This patch:
http://hovland.org/familiar/kernel-2.6.13-hh1-to-2.6.15-hh0.patch.bz2

does just that. It compiles for h5400. I do not yet know if it boots for
that platform. I am keenly interested in feedback from h2200 and hx4700
porters as I have not tackled those platforms and they will definitely
need fixing.

Porting notes:
The header include/linux/device.h no longer includes
'struct platform_device'. Drivers that require this struct will need to
include include/linux/platform_device.h instead.

The power management system changed. So the suspend() and resume()
function signatures did too. Examples on how to deal with this change
are in the patch, look for SAMCOP drivers.

Thanks, look forward to feedback. Have a good New Year!

Erik,

Which version of 2.6.15 is this against?

Matt
