Kumar, with all due respect, I don't like this attitude. I can have 
eval board where I don't want to upgrade firmware.

Also, this "let's screw everybody who doesn't have their board support 
in tree" is very counter productive. FYI, almost all my contributed 
kernel work was done on custom hardware, not on reference boards.

It seems some people here lost touch with reality - embedded Linux is 
mostly run on custom hardware, not on evaluation boards.
