Alex,
this is not a question of chip revisions. Chips with the same revision can
be used in designs with or without the external transmitter/receiver. Its
just that the chip has to be set up to be compatible with the design.
ah, ok. Dunno, I will wait on alan's opinion. If I don't heard anything in one
week I will apply it.
Did Simon's patch get applied? I couldn't see it in any of the obvious
places when I looked the other day.
Maybe alan wants also add a device tree support for this driver and then we could
make a dt property/platform data for that. But for now, I am also fine with module
parameter solution... because we don't have a dt support right now.
I don't like this as a module parameter. That's not what module params
are really designed for. It's better as DT so that it can be turned on
and off for the individual devices, not system-wide.
mrf24j40 loads up fine under DT. There just isn't anything to configure
(so far) other than the SPI.
Are there any other known boards which use the external amplifier
besides the MB and MC (and MD and ME, which are the same as the MB and MC)?
Alex, I'm not sure how this fits with Simon's patch, as I haven't
investigated it fully. I'd expect both implementations to be the same,
but they're not.
Alan.
