CC'ing Matthijs one of our BeagleBoard community members who utilizes and supports UIO on a number of community projects. We know TI and Mainline in general do not like this UIO driver as it's very open-ended. While the remoteproc_pruss driver is now mainline (it has taken a long time, since 3.14.x i I think TI first started this..) There is a large user base of UIO examples that have been running since 3.8.x and as a community we have made sure ( mostly Matthijs ) that these continue to operate on this driver in v5.x/v6.x/lts/mainline branches. We can always revert/etc.. But I'm hoping Matthijs will chime-in.. Regards, -- Robert Nelson https://rcn-ee.com/
