Good, I will use your new config tool for s2880.

YhLu: I can fix your problem without adding the mainboard init function to 
hardware main, and also without code like this to the include file:

====
#ifdef FINAL_MAINBOARD_FIXUP
void final_mainboard_fixup(void);
#else
#  define final_mainboard_fixup() do {} while(0)
#endif /* FINAL_MAINBOARD_FIXUP */

====

All I need to do is add an enable function for the mainboard into the 
static device tree, and create a structure for your mainboard in the 
mainboard/tyan/2880 directory. This is pretty easy, and will let us test 
out the new static device support. 

But, if I make this change you are going to have to use the new config
tool for your mainboard. There is no going back to the old config tool
once I make the change.

The new config tool is working pretty well, now, however: Greg and Stefan 
and I are using it, and Greg and I use it exclusively. There are still 
some glitches here and there but overall it is quite solid.

Is this acceptable to you? Stefan, Greg, and I can help you with any
problems you encounter with the new config tool.

thanks
