Hi Varka, sorry for my careful reviewing...,, but I had also some patch series which was at v8 or something like that. :-) On Fri, Jun 20, 2014 at 11:18:12AM +0530, Varka Bhadram wrote: > This patch adds the driver support for the cc2520 radio. > > Driver support: > - Tx and Rx of IEEE-802.15.4 packets. > - Energy Detection on channel. > - Setting the Channel for the radio.

The reason is that ieee802154_free_device free's your priv allocated data drom ieee802154_alloc_device. Did you test a "rmmod cc2520" with cc2520 as module support? Please do that and also verify that you need not to mask all interrupts before unloading (I had some experience with the at86rf230 chip). Means test "rmmod cc2520" while transmit some packages. - Alex -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
