By that logic, every RTC driver could use the same names for all their methods ... which would be confusing in more contexts than just stack backtraces and System.map interpretation. It's not a case of preventing multiple RTCs. It's a case of making sense of their symbols when they're all present in the same kernel. _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list [email protected] http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
