Benoit was telling me not to use pdata, so I thought it's a hard > rule for DT. He didn't give me a clear alternative, though =). As far as I know, we've got no other choice. And if we don't add these, then not only will current code be broken, but when the time comes to convert away from using platform_data function pointers, then no one will know what functions should be exposed from the integration code for the driver to call. - Paul -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
