Subject: [PATCH 2.x] n_r3964: fixed usage of HZ and mod_timer(); removed bad include
Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2005 11:54:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43AA85DD.6050000@iku-ag.de> (raw)
The n_r3964 driver did not work any more with any 2.6 kernel. The
reasons for this were
- HZ assumed to be 100
- jiffies forgotten in call to mod_timer()
In the header file, there was an unnecessary include of
<asm/termio.h> which made it nearly impossible to compile any
code against it, as it caused definition duplicates with
<termio.h>.
The patch probably should be applied to the other 2.x kernels, too.
