Ah, that's not going to be good then. Really, this doesn't seem to need to be a driver at all, and the ioctls are really strange so we would need to change them anyway before it could be merged. But with no access to userspace code, that will be quite difficult, so I would push back on allwinner and have them work on resolving this. thanks, greg k-h -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linux-sunxi" group.
