Sorry i meant board-dt in the previous message and the name just getting used to the mail program on os x aswel. I have run through the checkpatch.pl script and it tells me there are no errors but i just found out a few minutes ago theres a fix for the 2 sata ports not working (on all kirkwood devices as far as i know) so i am going to test that now as it envolves modifying a line in the dts file.

Also it is defiantly an arm kirkwood device. My patch also does not modify any driver's or anything else just create's the appropriate file in the arch/am/boot/dts directory and the board config in the arch/arm/mach-kirkwood directory along with adding the lines to the appropriate files in that directory. So do i need to inform anyone else? the maintainers file is pretty long and i am unsure of what / who i am looking for in it.

It's also a single patch so i just copy and paste the patch text into a reply like this and send it?
