Is there any reason, that the rx51 platform code does not support
the lp5523 chip? The chip driver itself is in the mainline kernel
since 2.6.37-rc2.

Got a patch for that? As always, patches related to blinking leds
have a special high priority here! :)

Ameya Palande has written one, which is available at [0]. I added
him to CC, so that he can comment on mainline inclusion.

OK. Ameya, can you please post it for review for this list with
linux-arm-kernel list Cc'd?

Regards,

Tony

Can we get following patch in for 2.6.39-rc2?

Tony will say for sure, but I don't consider that a bugfix, so you need
to wait next merge window for that to reach mainline :-

It is not a new feature/driver for sure. We are just enabling support
for a driver (lp5523) on N900 which is already present in mainline.

Exactly, adding a new feature. Let me put it this way: which bug or
regression are you fixing with this patch ?

I never claimed that it is fixing a bug/regression ;)
IMHO driver for lp5523 chip is a "new feature" which is already in mainline. This patch just enables use of this feature on N900.

Cheers,
Ameya.
