Great news! :-)

On the jz4775 front, it appears that there is some interest amongst more 
capable kernel developers to get support upstream alongside the jz4780 found 
in the MIPS Creator board, although it may well be somewhat unofficial. But I 
hope that since the jz4770 support for the GCW-Zero has been pushing the 
jz4780 support along, it shouldn't be too unrealistic to expect mainline 
support for most of the jz47xx series, unofficial or otherwise.
