Can you please > explain that? Actually all patches except for the 7th(of 9), would work without the xilinx_spi-patch. The 7th (Timberdale MFD) would not build. Some of the othe drivers are not possible to select because they depend on the MFD in their Kconfigs, but not the code. I would be very happy if you applied all but the 7th (MFD) and 2nd (SPI) anyway. I will update my SPI-patch to work against the two patches you point out above. And them I will resend the Timberdale MFD and the Xilinx SPI patch. Would that be OK? --Richard
