[Soekris] How to Update scx200 files from kernel 2.4 to 2.6

Hi,
   My current box is running pebble linux 2.4.31. I would like to update
support for the sc1100 which is in the current 2.6 kernel. Is there anyway I
can get patches or have a package that could update those files for me?
Also, I'm not even sure if that'll work. I'm a newbie so please help if
possible with details.

The files that I am looking at are:
             kernel 2.4.31
                kernel
2.6.17
    include/linux/scx200.h and scx200_gpio.h
include/linux/scx200.h and scx200_gpio.h
    drivers/i2c/scx200_acb.c and scx200_i2c.c
drivers/i2c/busses/scx200_acb.c and scx200_i2c.c (located different dir)
    drivers/char/scx200_gpio.c
drivers/char/scx200_gpio.c
    drivers/char/scx200.c
arch/kernel/scx200.c   (located at differnt dir)

I am fairly new to updating kernel sources. There seems to be more support
for SC1100 witht he 2.6 kernel verison of these files.
However, seems like some were placed in differen dirs and i'm not sure of
any other dependencies. I'm tempted to just replaces the
files in the 2.4 source with the ones in the 2.6 source but have a feeling
that won't work. Any insite and help as to how to update
the files would help out alot.

Thank you,

Harrison
