LLDDs having their own domain discovery code is definitely a misfeature. As you know, stuff is being rearranged to move more of the SPI-specific code from both SCSI core and LLDDs into the SPI transport. I suspect domain discovery will always be triggered by the LLDD for SPI, but at least a driver doesn't have to have its own code to do that any more. - 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/
