In case you do that, please call the board 'colibri-pxa270' in folder
and config file names, not just 'colibri' like in the version you
referred to above. There are versions of that modules with pxa3[012]0
CPUs which are entirely different and need extra care.

I submitted a patch to support that module 1,5 years ago - if you miss
some pieces, you might have a look here:

Bringing this in shape is a good idea, though.
