Re: MAX3107 driver faulty

Have somebody test the driver,
or have although trouble with the chip?
I haven't, but I'll add the people who brought the driver to the
kernel to CC. Maybe they can comment.
It had some testing but in a limited configuration and mostly for a
device that then got canned. Thus I can well believe the autocts/rts
isn't set right, and IntOscen may well only get set if the firmware
happens to do it etc

Because i am really new with the kernel hacking,
what are the next steps, build an patch?
Doing patches (one per issue) might be an idea. It is usually easier
to talk about code. Reading Documentation/SubmittingPatches will
probably make the process easier.
I would probably send it as four patches

1. A patch for the IntOscen configuration
2. A patch to fix autocts/rts
3. A patch to fix the register updates
4. A patch to add any platform specific stuff you need for your device.

Thanks

Alan
