I suspect that I might have been the trigger for this, so probably ought to comment. What I was looking for was a way to access HAL realtime functions from Userspace. I think this could be part of that solution. Other use-cases: Currently BSPI outputs the names of the BSPI instances to dmesg. This is not particularly convenient. Being able to find them in a file tree would be neater. It might make the job of configuration tools such as PNCConf easier, especially now that so many of the Mesa cards create their own pin names. The original idea was that one might be able to pipe a firmware file directly to a smart-serial remote card from userspace to somewhere where kernel space could pick it up and use it. If there is no significant overhead I would be tempted to suggest that it be implemented and then we can see how useful it turns out to be. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
