After this I intend to do a complete rework to apply the ideas outlined by Grant Likely to avoid the use of delayed work and, if I find a way, the batching of TX requests proposed by Feng Tang and Alan Cox (I guess I will have at least to add a new function to the SPI core to know the real bit/rate the system is using to make this work). The relevant patches from the -mm kernel were tested on a 2.6.34-rc2 kernel on a S3C ARM machine. This patch ris based on them. -- Christian Pellegrin, see http://www.evolware.org/chri/ "Real Programmers don't play tennis, or any other sport which requires you to change clothes.
