Agreed.

I wouldnt say "really great". PCAP is "the important CODE"(TM) and
without it OpenEZX is just a brick.
Our current linux2.6-arm branch looks good and would be accepted by
arm-linux people without much hassle, but it really doesnt do much, it
just configures pxafb and pxa_pwm, nothing more.
We need PCAP for MCI, UDC, TS, Sound, etc... Basically, EZX _is_ the
PCAP ASIC.

What about some concentrated effort to clean up PCAP? And a 2 weekend
deadline for submission? I see that you are very determined to push our
patchset upstream, and so am I. If you can assert that your motivation
will last for these 2 weeks, i can assert you that in 2 weeks the pcap
driver will be ready for mainline. :)

I still feel that PCAP is "the important code"(TM). ;)
How do you feel about the above deadline for us fix it? If pcap is not
ready in 2 weeks you go and submit the first batch without pcap stuff.
