But I'd like to hear from > Andrew, Dave and the others about that. I'd say just push this driver with the other 2.6.30 stuff. There's no point in holding it back. The yet-to-be-merged threaded IRQ support won't break the in-tree stuff. And it's not exactly fully cooked, since it doesn't yet handle a highly-relevant use-case ... :) So the plan of record remains unchanged: once mainline has adequately functional threaded IRQ support, update twl4030-family drivers to use it. Meanwhile, use the current stuff, which despite some aesthetic warts still works just fine. The positive note seems to be that the IRQ threading patches have gotten refreshed. - Dave
