Ok, this is less invasive than what I have been thinking. This makes sense. > I can have a look at doing it as I have some i.mx28 platforms. If you can point me to a driver that is a good reference for your model, then I can do this myself. Otherwise I'd prefer if you wrote the code. I can do the testing though, if this helps.
