I know, but I don't have a PXA board here to  test  anything  myself.
Patches are welcome (they should try not to break the other ARM based
systems, though).

Thanks n advance.

That would be excellent. I can test on some  ARM9  systems.  For  the
rest,  the  names and email addresses of the board maintainers are in
the MAINATINERS files.

Best regards,
