Until that is resolved, mark the driver as broken to enable test builds. Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@roeck-us.net> --- I know this is likely controversial, but it seems to be better than letting builds fail. And maybe it causes a real fix to be submitted.
The fix is on the way: http://lists.linux-xtensa.org/pipermail/linux-xtensa/Week-of-Mon-20140203/001584.html -- Thanks. -- Max
