Would that help you? That could indeed simplify a few things. I wonder if it could introduce a few small issues though (but likely nothing we can't fix). The two that come to mind are the fact that the module would have two MODULE_DESCRIPTION and MODULE_LICENSE entries (I have no idea if that could cause breakages), and that it could make module unloading more difficult as the CMM being used by the DU would increase the refcount on the module. I think the latter could be worked around by manually unbinding the DU device through sysfs before unloading the module (and I can't say for sure that unloading the DU module is not broken today *innocent and naive look* :-)). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
