21 Thanks for the offer - you have struck the nail on the head though -
22 it's a soekris driver so I need a soekris board...
23
24 Note for those with Alix boards I am trying to submit an updated
25 alix-leds driver which means you can have GPIO *and* LEDs at the same
26 time. However, you will (probably not) notice that you need to enable
27 the new cs5535-mfd on 2.6.38 if you want gpio to work (like 2.6.37)...
28 Beware... (says someone who spent a couple of hours figuring this out
29 today...)

31 Anyway, the SOekris board is quite similar so I wanted to submit the
32 same patch for that, but I need someone with a board to test it..

34 Cheers
