That's normal procedure if you want a device's support in mainline kernel. In the commit log you can see who committed the code. AFAIK it was one of the Pandora developers, Grazvydas Ignotas. This is only good for Pandora to have support in the mainline kernel. This way it would be kept up to date.

Yup, Pandora has basic support in mainline kernel. I say "basic" because a lot of OMAP code is not in mainline yet, and some things will never be, like those open SGX parts. Those wanting full support will still need to use our kernel fork.

wait till the reverse engineered code for the gpu driver is done.

Hmm... wonder how far Maciek has gotten with that...

don't know. but it's only one chip so it's a few orders of magnitude easier then say reversed engineered open source nvidia driver.
