Subject: Request for Clarification: old - legacy - new driver model
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2009 13:37:30 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <gngvea$eqj$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi all,
postings like the one by Ben Dooks, on 15 Jul 2008 15:58:21 GMT
<20080715155144.136915800-elnMNo+KYs3pIgCt6eIbzw@public.gmane.org> talk about 'old style', 'legacy
driver' and 'new driver model'
Having had MUXes and a 2.4 kernel in the past, we currently use a 2.6.26
kernel on a board with no MUX, but will have multiple MUXes, probably
cascaded, on next generation of our project.
Currently I'm trying to find out what is 'state of the art' and have
problems to connect 'old' (='legacy'?) and 'new' to a specific kernel
version.
What is the major difference between 'new' and 'legacy' model?
Can someone give me explanations/links/msg ids?

TIA
Michael
