So you're still using the mainline kernel on this system? We were
actually starting to consider getting rid of the support for this
platform, since it doesn't receive much attention, and there are almost
no systems supported in mainline that use this CPU.

Are you actually using the two CPUs on mv78200 ? If so, in what
configurations ?

Would you be willing to put some effort into moving mv78xx0 to the
Device Tree, and all other modern subsystems (clock, pinmux, etc.) ?

Best regards,

Thomas
