I've just realised, we can't do this. We need to read the peripheral ID at registration time, because that's published to userspace via (a) a sysfs attribute, and (b) as part of the uevent, which will be used by udev to locate the driver module. So, this will have the side effect of breaking systems which have AMBA primecell devices configured as modules. Sorry, I can't apply this. We can't regress existing platforms for the sake of introducing new platforms to this code. -- RMK's Patch system: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ FTTC broadband for 0.8mile line: currently at 9.6Mbps down 400kbps up according to speedtest.net. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-samsung-soc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
