Hi Baptiste, >> I couldn't see a reset function for AMBA devices. >> >> Is there anyway to write reset function for it?

This was done by Virtual Open Systems (ask Baptiste > for more details). But I don't think this is really used. Are you OK with requiring reset driver for AMBA devices too? The PL330 driver won't work until a reset driver is submitted for it. >> >> Would you include a reset needed flag and just not require it for AMBA? >> (I honestly don't like this idea) >> > I think the requirement also makes sense for AMBA. > > Maybe an option would be to add a module parameter that would allow to > use the vfio platform/amba driver without reset module (with explicit > opt-in from the user). Maybe this can be done later on. I can see this flag useful for testing purposes but it should not be used in production. How about I add a module parameter which is not set by default? When set, I don't perform the reset requirement check. > > FYI I will not have access to my mailbox until the end of the week.
