Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] New driver: Xillybus generic interface for FPGA (programmable logic)

I made changes in the code as a response to almost all your comments to
my best understanding.
I also sent a separate mail responding to a couple of issues, which
seems not have reached you.
But to put it short:
* The pci_ids: I wasn't sure if I should remove only my own product ID
or all the vendor IDs, and this is clear now.
* As for the documentation, I don't quite understand what I should add.
There's a rather extensive documentation for download at the site. The
docs for the host side mostly instruct common UNIX programming
techniques: The device files are just data pipes to FIFOs in the FPGA,
behaving like one would expect.
* As for the special class issue: When Xillybus is used, the whole
system's mission is usually around it (e.g. it's a computer doing data
acquisition through the Xillybus pipes). So giving it a high profile
makes sense, I believe. Besides, a dozen of device files are not rare.
Needless to say, I'm not going to insist on this.
Other than that, it's all changes in the code. It's a major change there.
Sorry for this miscommunication.
Eli
