Bryan, I think you had worked on a patch to only turn on NEON on TO3+ but not on TO1/TO2 boards?
Exactly, That's a silicon issue of TO1 and TO2, but Freescale fixed it in TO3+. Here is the NEON patch: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git%3Ba=commitdiff%3Bh=60...
You guys can find the whole story in the BugLink. And I'm afraid this patch is just a workaround and Freescale won't support TO1/TO2 anymore. So it might be for upstream.
Thanks,

Amit, Bryan:
Do you know what the correct setting for CONFIG_NEON is for MX51? In a discussion on IRC there was mention that there is a patch that makes it safe to turn on. Do you know if that patch has made it upstream?
Thanks, John
