SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 3/4] Device bindings documentation updated ACPI-enabled platforms not currently supported
From
Date
Hi,


As you suggested I will split the drivers. I am thinking of doing 5 patches:

- factor out master() parts

- separate Master part to i2c-designware-master.c (changes in i2c-designware-core.c)

- enable Slave part to i2c-designware-slave (changes in i2c-designware-core.c)

- glue drivers and device bindings

- cleaning


Regards,

Luis
