[Gorby, Russ] The problem here is that the same protocol driver on different platforms uses a different controller driver that has different requirements. We're using the modem type to differentiate platforms. I don't see that different firmware tag would be any better, other than it might look a little better. I think what we want is better way to communicate capabilities and requirements between the protocol and controller drivers directly but in a generic way. I don't see that the SPI core supports that now. _______________________________________________ MeeGo-kernel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-kernel
