Subject: Adding new driver - looking for suggestions
Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 13:37:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <000001c7c24f$c4401f10$7a4b82ce@connecttech.local> (raw)


Hi all,

We would like to add support for our (Connect Tech) multi-port serial
adapters to the kernel.  Currently there is some limited support for some of
our cards already in 8250_pci, however we have some specific functionality
on our cards that we would like to add.  We already have a patch for 8250
(and friends) to add the new functionality, however I'm starting to think
that it may be better to create a separate driver, based on 8250/8250_pci,
for our specific boards/needs only.

I'm looking for any suggestions on what we should possibly do.

A current patch can be found here:
ftp://ftp.connecttech.com/pub/misc/bhbltnptm-2.6.21.patch


Thanks, Chris
