[Linux-ATM-General] mpc8360sar

[Li Tony-r64360]

 Alex, we are working on the 8360 upstream. As the similarity between
832x and 8360, if the 8360 has benn accepted, it would be easy for 832x
upstream.
We have submit the 8360 patch to the opensource. But we are waiting it
to be accepted.

BTW,  the new version QOC3-ATM card will adopt. The QOC3-ATM card code
need some modification. 
I send the new code to you if it done. Ok ?
Tony
