My feeling was that this approach will either fail on some chips or will be very cumbersome. Well, I was wrong. Reviewing the patches against orion/discovery specs shows that this patchset indeed handles all these bits differences correctly, and in a very simple and elegant manner. So I like it a lot ;) For the whole set -- Reviewed-by: Tzachi Perelstein <tzachi@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-arch" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
