FWIW, I quite like Anatolij's driver: it has PCI and OF bindings, plus the patch description states that the driver supports Mint controllers as well, and I have some hardware that actually needs the support for Mint GDCs. (Today we just configure the GDC in the firmware and linux use offb.c driver with static setup, w/o ability to change modes e.t.c.) -- Anton Vorontsov email: cbouatmailru@gmail.com irc://irc.freenode.net/bd2
