Proper support for IcyBox NAS6210 & NAS6220

[kmihelich]

The mainline kernel does not support all of the ARM devices that are out there, that's why you don't see them there.

The numbers aren't changing in the mainline kernel, they are just being pruned out of the mach-types file distributed with the source. The numbers stay the same as per the official registry we linked above.

Raidsonic wrongly repurposed an existing ID (527) instead of creating their own. This is why the boxes come set to that, and why in order to have it supported under our kernel you must change it to correct ID of 3104.

If you don't want to change the arcNumber to the correct ID to work with our kernel because you feel you don't have to, then don't. It just won't fully work with our distribution. You make the call. This pointless conversation has only been continuing because you simply won't realize that you must change the arcNumber, that the one it ships with is wrong for mainline support. I will not be changing our kernel to utilize incorrect board IDs.

Just two things (again)
- I must not change arcnumber because I'm only a user and not a developer
- if 3104 is a proper arcnumber than 527 is too as I see neighter of them in the vanilla kernel that is the base of every linux based development

If you can't realize you must write programs for devices and not botching devices for your programs than you are not a public programmer just made linux kernel changes for a little group of users or only yourself. This is so typical programmer approach narrow but this don't pain to Linux kernel...

I'm going to say this one last time. This site is the list of official numbers. These are the numbers that go into our kernel, because that is how things actually work. Not just for us.

If you want to go on the personal attack route, get the ***** out. Find a new distribution.
