    Thanks, it’s good that they’re moving along …. device tree should be pretty standard in these newer kernels.

    I remember how nice it was when I needed a ROM for an Allwinner A10 tablet, with their FEX system I could just get a generic Android 4.4 for the A10 and that was that… any differences were handled by the FEX config …. hopefully the device tree will bring similar benefits.
