I can't speak for Sascha here but the i.MX BSPs provided by your colleagues on the i.MX team also have an independant driver for the SSI port. The latest public version of the Freescale i.MX code I'm aware of is in the recent Ubuntu kernels - I've not yet checked but I'd not be surprised to see substantial code sharing between Sascha's code and the BSP for the SSI-specific bits. It would be very much desirable to unify the various drivers, though I would prefer to avoid making this a blocker for getting i.MX3x "DMA" support in mainline. Taking a brief glance through the code it looks like there's some platform-specifics in the drivers - the i.MX one has optional DMA support due to the whole SDMA issue, while the PowerPC one is including asm/immap_86xx.h for something. Perhaps pulling the common code into a library would be a good approach here? _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
