SubjectRE: [RFC][PATCH]ACPI,APEI,ERST, back end driver for NVRAM
Hi,

Thank you for giving me the information.
Let me clarify one thing.

If the busy bit can be cleared immediately, we don't need to
check busy bit with CHECK_BUSY_STATUS.
So, we should simply execute OSPM operations as follows.

- Writing
1. BEGIN_WRITE
2. SET_RECORD_OFFSET
3. EXECUTE_OPERATION
4. END

- Reading
1. BEGIN_READ
2. SET_RECORD_OFFSET
3. SET_RECORD_ID
4. EXECUTE_OPERATION
(END operation is not needed because OSPM requires no platform
support to read.)

- Clearing
1. BEGIN_CLEAR
2. SET_RECORD_ID
3. EXECUTE_OPERATION
(END operation is not needed because OSPM requires no platform
support to clear.)

Is this what you expected?

Seiji
