Thomas,

I occasionally noticed that the PXA can be reused, when working on the
bugfix for vt8500. Another good question would be how exactly this code
can be reused. We may rework PXA driver to make it working under
vt8500, or include the C code from the vt8500 and get two slightly
different modules. You may look at our previous discussion with Alexey:

Adding Robert and Bill to get more opinions. At this step, fixing the
vt8500 nanosleep bug is a priority.

Happy New Year,
Roman
