Neither do I, but in this case has some mitigating factors. diff stat is interesting: Old: arch/powerpc/include/asm/mpc5xxx.h | 10 +++++++++ arch/powerpc/sysdev/mpc5xxx_clocks.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++= ++++++++ drivers/net/fs_enet/mii-fec.c | 13 +++++++++-- drivers/net/fec_mpc52xx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/fec_mpc52xx_phy.c | 6 ++++-- 5 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) New: drivers/net/fs_enet/mii-fec.c | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--= -- drivers/net/fec_mpc52xx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/fec_mpc52xx_phy.c | 21 ++++++++++++++++++--- 3 files changed, 50 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) If the two devices were somewhat related then my opinion might be different. However the combination of the tiny amount of calculation code, the drivers being kept completely separate (or at least as separate as they were before), the smaller code impact, and the lower driver complexity (because the calculation code is inline instead of in a different file) makes me like the second approach is better. g. --=20 Grant Likely, B.Sc., P.Eng.
