It looks reasonable to me, from a ten-minute-scan. Well. All architecture ports suck. Yours sucks averagely ;) The todo list of which I'm aware is - use serial core in that driver - Fix up that ioctl so it a) doesn't sleep in spinlock and b) compiles - Use generic IRQ framework - Review all the volatiles, consolidate them in some helper-in-header-file. - Sort out maintainance issues, gather signed-off-bys. (Done, it appears) More things might come out once people start paying more attention, but if that's the extent of things, I'd be OK with a merge when you're ready. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
