Drivers that passed debugging and testing on hardware can be pushed to mainline. By now, ADIS16300 and ADIS16400 drivers are on the list. But the problem is they are based on old abi, will you change codes to match new abi? If no, we can update codes after you merge the new abi into mainline.

If possible I'd like to see some of them moving over to the new abi. However, given we are in staging anyway, we can always merge them first and change them later! Obviously the question of whether the abi changes merge in time is down to what feedback they generate so that may further complicate things. I see there are loads from Analog in the blackfin tree and based on a quick glance at the source they are all in pretty good state. The only holes I can see are possibly in documentation and that is probably more a case of adding things to the abi docs (in my latest patch set) than anything else. Barry, Sonic, Michael, what are your current plans for mainlining? (as much as staging is mainline anyway) I see you guys have started adding ring support. How are you finding that element? I'm still far from sure we have gotten that bit right yet! I'm going to have a play with the new FIFO implementation and see if that provides at the very least and easier to review alternative to the current buffer. Would also be great to start merging DAC and DDS support from your tree and finally justify the output element of IIO. I know Manuel has a couple of drivers as well. Sorry to anyone I have forgotten. Please post your drivers! If people want assistance with moving over to the new abi, then I'm happy to convert drivers, but obviously would need people to test that I haven't broken anything in the process. With a bit of luck I'll clean up a few half written drivers I have and perhaps look at pulling in the other light sensors now that ALS has bitten the dust. Looking forward to seeing lots of drivers! Thanks, Jonathan p.s. If anyone has a chance to glance over the latest patch set, that would be great. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-iio" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
