However, in my opinion, RFC is one of ways to show directions for future works and establish _loose_ agreement among active developers. In terms of it, I think it's time to put the patchset to the review process for merging. But it seems to be a bit late for 4.5. I'll postpone them to next developing cycle for 4.6. For 4.5, I'll finish all of my work, and I currently plan for 4.6: * Limit PCM substreams to current sampling transfer frequency for Dice driver * Replace tasklet with workqueue for scs1x functionality of OXFW driver. * Some works in userspace, mainly libhinawa and hinawa-utils * Development of firewire-transceiver module for testing streaming engine of firewire-lib.
