Re: [PATCH]Add device drivers (GbE, Packet Hub) for Topcliff

["Masayuki Ohtake" <masa-korg@dsn.okisemi.com>]

Hi jon,
Thanks for your suggestion again.
I joined the netdev and send my patch to "netdev <netdev@vger.kernel.org>".

--
Hello netdev users,

I developed the device drivers for Linux kernel 2.6.33-1.
This time, I added the following drivers
  - GbE device
  - Packet HUB device

The GbE and Packet Hub device drivers are related with each other.
Because I send patch to LKML <linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org> and the netdev
<netdev@vger.kernel.org> mailing list.

Would you check them?

The patch is uploaded to our WEB site in Sourceforge.net,
Because the patch size was large.

[Our WEB site in Sourceforge.net.]
http://sourceforge.net/projects/generalembedded/files/
"All Files" -> "Downloads" -> "Dev" -> "kernel 2.6.33-1"
  - pch_gbe.patch  (for GbE device)
  - pch_phub.patch (for Packet HUB device)


[About our development product]
Topcliff is a chip that has many peripherals.
The chip has UART, I2C, SPI, IEEE1588, CAN, Packet HUB, SATA, USB host, USB
device, SDIO, Gigabit Ethernet, GPIO and DMA.
