1. You should send some kernel mode TDM clients. Without those the

[Sandeep] We do have a test client but not good enough to be pushed in
open source, should we add it to documentation??

Then how do you know if the framework is "correct" and good enough for
real clients?  We don't add frameworks, or apis, to the kernel without
users, so you will have to come up with some users before we can accept
it.

We can only say that this framework is available in FSL BSPs and being used by VoIP companies.
But running a complete voice stack itself is beyond the scope of Freescale.
So vendors integrate their solutions with FSL solution.
To test the framework we have a small application in our BSP (this is a very basic test client) which tests the TDM driver and the SLIC interface from voice  transfer perspective.
We can get this added in the Linux codebase in some test directory. What could be a good place for this?

tools/ is a good place for that.

And sorry, I was thinking you had kernel drivers that attached to this
framework, not userspace programs.  Actually, what is the user/kernel
interface for this framework, I seem to have missed that entirely.  You
will have to document that quite well, and run it by the linux-api
mailing list.
