I don't see why we would need to get a subdir from one into the other. If the SoCs would need some common drivers (like GPIO), they should go into drivers/ anyway. There is some perf code that could be shared (though not building a subdir as we have different instruction sets) but I would like that moved to a more generic place. -- Catalin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
