No consensus with respect to which pieces, the Primecell driver or something outside of drivers/dma? Forgive me for missing recent conversations if this has been discussed to death already. > OK? I can go ahead and queue up the dma bits unless you would prefer, and Andrew agrees, to take this all through the -mm tree? -- Dan
