I would object that you wouldn't have this problem if you weren't hard wiring your interrupt number and were using the device-tree properly instead. As to getting your patch merged, you'll have to argue with Scott Wood who, I think, maintains the CPM2 stuff lately.
I fully agree that the proper way is using the device tree. I can't recall exactly why this wasn't an option to me a year ago, but I assume it had something to do with this ugly out-of-tree-driver. I wouldn't really argue about this patch, I just thought it might be useful as it seems there are people trying to do the same for some reason. Then again, maybe it should be skipped, as it makes it easier to not use the proper solution (= device tree) :) Kind regards, Wolfram -- Pengutronix e.K. | Wolfram Sang | Industrial Linux Solutions | http://www.pengutronix.de/ |
