| |
I've cut another patch for the Compaq Hotplug PCI driver ported to 2.4.6-pre1. It should also apply cleanly and run on 2.4.5, but I haven't tested it there. It is available at: http://www.kroah.com/linux/hotplug/
Here is a list of the things that have been changed since the last patch I sent out: - forward ported to 2.4.6-pre1 - reformatted the code to match kernel guidelines - removed most typedefs to match kernel programming style - removed lots of unused #defines - cleaned up almost all complier warnings (including those when debugging is enabled.) - forced debugging to be enabled (this is easily switched off in the cpqphpd_linux.h file if you don't like to see all of it.) - removed lots of global symbols, moving those that are necessary to a clean namespace (hpcd_*). - cleaned up the probing for the hotplug device logic to make other future devices easier to add. - other stylistic things.
I've tested this patch on both Compaq and Intel hotplug controllers (much thanks to Compaq for providing a machine to test this out on) using the Compaq gui tool.
Things left to do: - add kernel-doc style comments - remove more global symbols - incorporate native list types - look into removing some of the native PCI bus probing logic to use the kernel provided functions where possible. - add support for other archs (ia64)
If anyone has any problems or questions about this version, please let me know.
thanks,
