Fasten your seat belts before reading further.... Rather than generic 'samsung', I would suggest the driver named after the SoC, that is supported first(chronologically) in mainline kernel. All newer SoCs should be simply taken to contain the controller of that SoC. Otherwise, the same naming problem comes back to haunt us should Samsung decides to use a different IP in future SoCs. What would we call that driver? pata_samsung_v2.c ? my two sparks Jassi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
