Still in use, you bet!

Thanks for patch. I know I'm going to have to bite the bullet and 
build a 2.6 kernel at some stage, this will help a lot.

I've only just noticed that the 7200 uses NOR flash and not NAND like 
the 7250/7260. Sadly this is one blocker for 2.6 on these boards. 
TS's site says the NAND driver is "untested". 

Seems a curious this not to test since it's the main fs support on 
those boards, so I assume this is one thing they didn't manage to get 
working. 

Bit of a show stopper really.

Since you work with a NOR base SBC I dont suppose you will have 
tested it either.

BTW , I think you'll need to post that patch file to the files 
section  , the list does not accept attachments.
