Dear all,
sorry for my delayed reply - I was out for holidays :-)). This is the reason
why I did not report my latest findings yet and did not reply to Rudolf's
inputs either.
As a matter of fact I would strongly support the statement of Jean -
especially after I found that this very same patch did not work out the same
for the latest kernel (2.6.11.X) that has been issued by SuSE.
My patch was just guessing - and for some (to me ...) unknown reason it partly
worked. I would highly appreciate if someone could give me a pointer to
something to read so I can better understand what i2c-amd756.c actually does
and how it interacts with other drivers and how my patch influences what.
I would highly appreciate if there was someone to help me if I have related
questions and I would personally be very reluctant to push something like my
patch upstream not knowing what it actually does and not being sure why it
(partly) had helped.
So, I would be really happy if someone could tell me where to start with
understanding how things interact here - I need something black and white to
get a clue what is happening here. Then I'll keep you updated with my
experiences.
Many thanks in advance,
take care
