ÂHence we won't have a stable userspace abi for now. at this point, we have so many ADI drivers out of tree (40 something at this point) that we want to focus on getting in first, and then we can talk about rewriting different approaches. every cycle we attempt to submit, there's some new ABI/API rewrite that keeps us out. so when we do get around to fixing things, we miss another cycle and the next one brings yet another rewrite. and we never seem to get time to address the fundamentals since we're tied up with bit shifting. so if you could highlight the tree with the pending rewrite patches, i can merge them now, get things fixed, and then post the drivers again. -mike -- 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
