Guys:


I think the Silicon Motion SM501 driver might provide a useful
example, since the chip comes in both memory-mapped and PCI versions.
Unfortunately the chip is implemented as a multi-function driver
(mfd), so the code is not un-complicated.  Still fairly
straightforward and well-written once you learn your way around it,
though.

Basically, it implements a core set of functionality to talk to the
actual chip registers, which is bus-agnostic.  Then the bus-specific
drivers use these functions when they actually want to touch the chip
itself.  In other words, exactly what David suggested.


b.g.

There are a number of drivers which already have this sort of dual bus
binding.

Thanks for the feedback David, I appreciate it. =A0Could you point me to =

one

of those drivers that has "this sort of dual bus binding" so can see an
example of what I'm trying to do?
