Yep, I will then add "queue_size" parameter to the platform data. Or something like that.

Sure.

I'd have to put SRAM address in the board code instead. Certainly not required at this point, and perhaps it will be never needed. -- Krzysztof Halasa - 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/
