While this seems correct, I don't think we should make any effort to 
maintain legacy board support files but rather move to DTS instead. 
Robert and I laid the foundation and ported a few machines a while ago, 
but I was reluctant to touch the board support code I can't test on real 
hardware.

As you seem to have access to a Viper board, could you have a look at 
the existing device-tree ported PXA machines and see if you can follow 
suit here please?


Thanks,
Daniel
