Hi Guenter,

It took some time, but here's the tree:

	https://github.com/avionic-design/linux/commits/medatom/master

The device tree files are in arch/x86/boot/dts (as expected I guess). A
linux-next from over a year ago was used as the base for that branch, so
some of that will be stale, but DT is a stable ABI, so that should still
be valid. =)

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Although I have
not been working on that for a while, so my memories about it aren't all
that fresh anymore.
