Your code was broken or needed to be updated in several ways as I pointed out in the thread you refer to. It also did not support all those systems that use the same family of chips, but which has the WAKEUP signal connected. > "proof-of-concept" is misleading if you expect this to become > *the* Sirf driver and we are just invited to add some features > to that.

Dude, in the very same thread you refer to above, after being asked to reiterate your proposal to find and appropriate abstraction level you reply: "Yes, please feel free to write patches that implement it that way." Now I've done just that for you, and then you whine about that too. SiRF is a very common chip and I wanted to make sure that the common setup with WAKEUP connected was supported from the start. I'll get to your configuration in time too. Johan > [1]: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/843392/
