[PATCH usb-linus 0/4] qcserial: refactoring support for Sierra Wireless devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I just have to admit that using the per-interface number matching
here wasn't such a good idea after all. It just does not scale
well when adding new devices, and I think we should break now
before we have added even more redundant match entries.

This series refactors the device layout selecting code to simplify
adding more layouts, and then define a Sierra Wireless specific 
layout.  This layout is applied to the existing entries, and to
a number of yet unsupported Sierra made Dell devices.

The old support for single interface number matching is no longer
necessary after this, and is therefore removed.

Comments are appreciated.  I realize that this will complicate
stuff a bit for stable backports while both schemes are in use,
but I do believe it represents a necessary simplification in the
long run.
