What does "common" refer to? What does the flib directory mean, in the context of Linux? If someone were to add code to this driver, how do they know if the code should go into the flib directory or not? > > +#define iowrite32be(val, addr) out_be32(&(*addr), val) > +#define ioread32be(addr) in_be32(&(*addr)) iowrite32be()/ioread32be() are already defined for all relevant architectures. Why are you redefining them into something PPC- specific? > +/* do not change! if changed, must be disabled for rev1 ! */ > +#define DEFAULT_HALT_ON_EXTERNAL_ACTIVATION false > +/* do not change! if changed, must be disabled for rev1 ! */ > +#define DEFAULT_HALT_ON_UNRECOVERABLE_ECC_ERROR false rev1 of what chip? -Scott
