With all due respect, it looks like you have reinvented portions of my RFC for a comprehensive PWM API that has been floating around on linux-embedded for over a year--- with an update coming in the last two weeks or so. Why? To make matters worse, when I posted my original code I was told to move the whole discussion to linux-embedded, because as a cross-platform API proposal that's where it belongs. I encourage you do likewise. I have a terse email style, so I just want to be clear that I'm not mad or anything. Honest! I'm just disappointed that you've invested so much hard work in traveling down the same path I came over a year ago. Bummer for everyone. Can we not combine our efforts? I haven't reviewed all of your patches yet, but you are clearly ahead of me in specific ARM platform support. On the other hand, I think my code is more refined in many other areas. I also have Blackfin, PowerPC, and Cirrus (ARM) support, though some of the code is from contributors who are holding it until I proffer my final code. What do you think? Just let me know privately by email, or over on linux-embedded. Thanks! b.g. -- Bill Gatliff bgat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
