Yeah, this has been discussed several times, and we have not reached ag= reement=20 where to move this very OMAP specific code. One option was to move it under sound/soc/omap/ , since currently the o= nly=20 user for mcbsp is audio. But McBSP is really versatile beast, it can be used for other things (f= or=20 example it can handle SPI bus as well), so if we move it under ASoC, we= are=20 going to limit/block other use of these pins. We can not just cp arc/arm/plat-omap/mcbsp.c drivers/wherever... If we do that, we need to move it under some framework, or create a new= one=20 (bus driver?), which might be a bit tricky since we have special use of= McBSP=20 from audio side, this does not really fit the bus mode. Other uses of M= cBSP=20 might be happy with the bus driver conversion, but we just do not have = those. IMHO the only place we can move this is under sound/soc/omap/ , but who= can=20 decide, that the McBSP can only be used for audio?? --=20 P=E9ter -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-omap" i= n the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
