I gave a try to the brand new 2.6.27 kernel on my ADS5121 evaluation board:
* FEC support is not in, though it was quite easy to add FSL patches
from 2.6.24.6 and have the ethernet working
* If I turn on any USB support, the board resets itself as soon as
the USB driver is loaded. Without USB, I can get to a prompt.
Funny that the software reset is not working, but this bug is
actually able to sw reset the board...
* PCI seems not to be working, but I need to test it more. The fact
that FSL needed to patch 2.6.24.6 in order to get PCI working
makes me think it's needs some work.
This is bad because I wanted to incorporate some newer patches, like the
PWM one, but kernel 2.6.24.6 is too backward in time, while 2.6.27 is
too forward for FSL patches...
