Right, which is why we'll put it in a separate branch. Say, mvebu/pcie_bridge. This way if /pcie_bridge has to be dropped (say an API that it used is changed), /pcie would remain. Which is the main concern. Had I known enough last time around, I would have done the /of_pci | /pcie split. /pcie would have been dropped, and /of_pci would have made it in. As well as LinusW's work which depends upon it (and now Arnd might have something using it as well). thx, Jason. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
