We haven't been taking code out, so it's still there. Not currently tested.

So on a 2.052 board one can have samosa simply by wiring up to the pads of
the Smartmedia socket? So in fact it should be fine to leave samosa compiled
in by default? If that is true we need to find out why the kernels we have
been building don't appear to boot if samosa is configured. Are there
corresponding CPLD changes? I had been under the mistaken impression that
samosa implied hardware changes.

'Progress' does not imply 'finished'. Obviously broken USB is something that
must be fixed, but it is not a prerequisite to getting our various houses in
order and starting pushing up to mainline. Waiting till everything is
finished is the classic reason why one gets left behind with a fork. We can
work on both these things in parallel.
