[jornada] 2.4.32 for Jornada 7XX released

Hi,
I have released an update to the 2.4-j720 kernel branch which should
solve the biggest last remaining issue: crashes while playing sound
I have found the culprit: An endless while-loop waiting for a state to
change in the L3 send-function which is called when changing the mixer.
It is still not clear to me why it happened, as the datasheet for the
SA1111 does not leave the possibility for the state-change to not
occur...
While being at it, I've also fixed the problem, where the speaker was
not always powered on when playing sound. In addition the old
sa1100-audio stereo-only audio-module was removed and the
sa1100-audio-mono module was renamed sa1100-audio. It plays mono and
stereo streams.

You can get the new kernel, modules and patch from:

Now for a status-"update" on 2.6:
I was a bit optimistic when thinking that I have more spare time after
my last exams at the university but now my diploma thesis is eating much
time... That means I have not made much progress with 2.6, as the main
bug results in my inabilty to do effective testing: Non-working WiFi
makes copying a new kernel to the jornada a bit complicated...
I plan to get my current patch to apply and work on 2.6.15 in the next few
days and will put it on my website.

Regards,
  Michael
