A lot of the i.MX code just sits in BSPs and is never forwarded to the main repositories.
Aren't you fixing that?
No, I work on PowerPC only, and only some 8xxx chips. The i.MX stuff is a completely different group, and I only know one person who works on it, and she's in India.
I started looking at v2 because of the posts about modularizing it and using open firmware to identify and load the codecs. There doesn't seem to be that much difference.
My brain can only handle so much at one time. :-)
We are on 5200 because it is cheaper and 5200 has all the peripherals we need. Now that I am writing code for it I see that BestComm adds a lot of complexity. Hopefully I can get i2s working on it, I'd hate to switch CPUs after doing all this work.
You might want to direct some questions to the linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org. Also, if you have an IRC client, you can find a bunch of us on irc.freenode.net, channel #mklinux.
