Yes, it should first be shown (with subsystem conversions and runtime tests with, say, at least two different bus architectures) that features like this really are appropriately implemented as a driver core abstraction.
I would lend a hand to put this to test, but I won't do this anymore with the old ieee1394 subsystem, and work on the new firewire subsystem will be focused on stabilization and feature completion in the short to mid term. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== -==- ==--- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - 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/
