Currently, the drivers in the vanilla kernel are the UDC, framebuffer and
in 2.6.27 the mmc driver will be there. I need to send a patch for
declaring de mmc stuff in mach-h1940.c but I'm not sure it'll be merged
in 2.6.27

What do you call "battery support" ? only battery charging ?

As regards the button and backlight stuff, there will be some changes
soon as I plan to kill the current button driver to use the upstream
gpio key driver and to use the pwm-bl driver. This should give a better
h1940 support in the upstream kernel.

I don't have a uptodate repo but I hope to be able to find some time to
fix that soon.
