Yes. We will add specific board support for the 8541/8555 (in terms of the TQM8541 and TQM8555 boards) to our 2.6 git repository in a few days, but we don't have any intentions to support these boards in our 2.4 tree (unless you pay us for it, of course :-) > compare the 8540 to the 8541: perhaps I can live with the 8540 support > that does appear to be in the 2.4 kernel.

It's just a routine job, but it takes time and resources, and you have to decide if it makes sense to invest these in a kernel tree that will not be developed any further.
