I'd like to see it upstreamed - the more people who use it the more help I get! However, mpc8360sar is built on Freescale's BSP which adds basic support for the board, the MPC832xE-MDS, to the stock linux kernel. This support consists of the following patches: Patch0 : patch-2.6.11.bz2 Patch1 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-general-20060414.patch Patch2 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-pci-3.patch Patch3 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-pci-agent.patch Patch4 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-watchdog.patch Patch5 : linux-2.6.11-mpc83xx-sec2.patch Patch6 : mpc832x-sec2v15-config-1.patch Patch7 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-usb-gadget.patch Patch8 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8349e-usb-host.patch Patch9 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8360-general-1.patch Patch10 : linux-2.6.11-mpc8360-pci-agent.patch Patch11 : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-basic-4.patch Patch12 : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-pci-agent.patch Patch13 : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-spi-1.patch Patch14 : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-BIT.patch Patch15 : linux-2.6.11-mpc83xx-ct-1.patch Patch16 : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-usb-gadget.patch Patch17 : linux-2.6.11-mpc832x-atm-1.patch I guess there's no point upstreaming mpc8360sar until freescale have upstreamed these patches (and ported them to the current kernel). Alex PS It's probable that mpc8360sar actually only requires a handful of the above patches to be applied.
