Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] New driver: Xillybus generic interface for FPGA (programmable logic)

[Eli Billauer <eli.billauer@gmail.com>]

I made changes in the code as a response to almost all your comments to 
my best understanding.

I also sent a separate mail responding to a couple of issues, which 
seems not have reached you.

But to put it short:

* The pci_ids: I wasn't sure if I should remove only my own product ID 
or all the vendor IDs, and this is clear now.

* As for the documentation, I don't quite understand what I should add. 
There's a rather extensive documentation for download at the site. The 
docs for the host side mostly instruct common UNIX programming 
techniques: The device files are just data pipes to FIFOs in the FPGA, 
behaving like one would expect.

* As for the special class issue: When Xillybus is used, the whole 
system's mission is usually around it (e.g. it's a computer doing data 
acquisition through the Xillybus pipes). So giving it a high profile 
makes sense, I believe. Besides, a dozen of device files are not rare. 
Needless to say, I'm not going to insist on this.

Other than that, it's all changes in the code. It's a major change there.

Sorry for this miscommunication.
