 Hi Russell,
 Yes I understand what you mean.
 
 I asked on -pcmcia about the approach back in June 2009:
 http://marc.info/?l=linux-pcmciam=124805223926065w=2
 but didn't get a reply :(
 
 OTOH soc_common provides some other useful stuff like polling thread,
 common interrupt handler core, common debug etc.

What's your opinion in light of this?

Best,
Dominik

 This patch series adds support for the MXC PCMCIA / CF controller.
 
 It has been tested on MX21 (with CF card + ide-cs as well as a
 broadcom based wificard using b43 driver)
 
 It has been compile only tested for MX27, MX31 as I don't have
 this hardware but the code is based on Freescale's MX31.
 
 Changes since RFC:
* Split arch specifc changes from driver
* Update to 2.6.33-rc8 [soc-common is now a standalone module]

I do wonder whether, as you have windows, you should be using the soc
support - the soc support is based interfacing hardware which does not
have windows into the generic infrastructure which assumes the presence
of windows.
