Actually AMBA has generalized past being ARM-specific. It's just a chip-internal bus, and the silicon-IP end of ARM Ltd has been successful enough that vendors use it with non-ARM CPUs too. Example: you'll notice that drivers/dma/dw_dmac.c was first used on a non-ARM system; it's a Synopsys DesignWare (dw) DMA controller (dmac) for AMBA2, with AHB and APB. So let me suggest LKML, with an FYI to the ARM list, and putting that driver in drivers/dma instead. :) But yes, now I see what you mean: discrete DMA and SPI drivers. - Dave > My Synopsys DesignWare SPI master driver will, when complete, depend on this > DMA controller driver, that's not in the mainline (yet). > > > Post it to the SPI list instead. ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ spi-devel-general mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spi-devel-general
