RE: [PATCH 0/3] UCC TDM driver for MPC83xx platforms

Thanks Kumar/Morton/Kim

I shall make a small paragraph which describes the TDM driver
architecture and the interfaces it exposes.

As far as 8315 TDM is concerned it is a non QE driver and quite
different from this except for the functionality and external interface
it exposes.

Right now TDM is not a full-fledged bus driver which probably can be
done may be very similar to SPI.

Please give your suggestions on this.

With Regards
Poonam

Hello  All

I am waiting for more feedback on the patches.

If there are no objections please consider them for 2.6.25.

if this isn't going to go through Alessandro Rubini/misc drivers, can

it go through the akpm/mm tree?

That would work.  But it might be more appropriate to go Kumar-

paulus->Linus.

I'm ok w/taking the arch/powerpc bits, but I"m a bit concerned about  
the driver itself.  I'm wondering if we need a TDM framework in the  
kernel.

I guess if Poonam could possibly describe how this driver is actually  
used that would be helpful.  I see we have 8315 with a discrete TDM  
block and I'm guessing 82xx/85xx based CPM parts of some form of TDM  
as well.
