Tony,

LogicPD engineers did the initial porting and then Stephan Linz
re-started the work on the, then recent, 2.6.32 Kernel using our BSP
as a starting point. He was kind enough to send those LogicPD and we
began putting it together against the latest Linux Kernel for
inclusion and that was done by Jacob over the summer and finished off
by Tim.

Stephan Linz is credited in the patch and Peter Barada (another
LogicPD employee) is listed as the maintainer though his part (along
with me) in getting these specific patches out have been more behind
the scenes. So having the names listed as they are now is OK.

In the upcoming months we will be pushing out additional support for
the LogicPD's boards and it will most likely come up a variety of
LogicPD engineers depending on our workload..

Thanks
