No worries, this subsystem would only be useful to you, if you were running Linux on a Fieldbus client device. That is still quite niche - on mainline. > > BTW: I just noticed there are occurences of anybuss and anybus in the > driver. Is only one of them right? There are various "flavours" of Anybus. One of them is Anybus-S, which is the one implemented here. Support could be added for the other flavours, but there is no use case right now. The reason why I went with "anybuss_xxx" instead of "anybus_s_xxx" was purely visual. Code such as this: > void anybus_s_client_driver_unregister(struct anybuss_client_driver *drv) looked really bad to me. Perhaps in hindsight, "anybus_s_xxx" would have been the better choice, because quite a few people have questioned the double-S. But hindsight is 20/20, and there is no good incentive to change it now, except if Anybus-S suddenly became more popular. Which is unlikely, it's now purely a legacy bus.
