Yes, it's been a while since the last submission for review [1], and most of the changes went over linux1394-devel only. And to put it mildly, there aren't a lot of capable reviewers watching that list.
Changes since last submission, AFAIR: - completion of the DMA engine - completion of the userspace ABI - extensions to exported sysfs attributes - some other feature additions like bus manager capability - lots of bug fixes - some style fixes
I'll folllow up with "git diff v2.6.21-rc3..juju" ripped apart, reordered, and refreshed against 2.6.21:
[PATCH 1/6] firewire: handling of cards, buses, nodes [PATCH 2/6] firewire: isochronous and asynchronous I/O [PATCH 3/6] firewire: char device interface [PATCH 4/6] firewire: OHCI-1394 lowlevel driver [PATCH 5/6] firewire: SBP-2 highlevel driver [PATCH 6/6] firewire: add it all to kbuild
(If this division seems odd, don't blame Kristian, blame me. :-) I'm looking forward to comments.
