Not a big deal for now, until mvs_if.m used only inside mvs.ko itself for PCI devices or statically linked kernel for PCI/SoC. Controller driver is useless without channel driver, so probably it could be declared as dependency, if sometimes needed. I just thought it is a bit dirty to have it in a kernel when all code loaded as module. -- Alexander Motin _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
