Maybe; but not "ideal enough" to have nudged anyone into providing patches to do much like that. The kernel or module parameters are sufficient to solve the problem. Network drivers have used them that way for ages, as one example; so have various block drivers. If you wanted board files to hold that information, the simplest way would be to have them prepend entries to the kernel command line. (Prepend, so that the command line still carries the final word on such software config issues.) The alternative would be to come up with some scheme to pass additional parameters through several layers of driver stack... and when such stuff has come up in the past, the most common answer has been "use kernel/module parameters, that's what they are there for".
ok, it makes sense. will focus on using the module parameters. Thanks Dave. -- balbi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
