Re: AT91 serial driver
Andrew, Laurent, Øyvind,
how are we going to get this resolved? We now have
three patches competing for approval (although I
think that Øyvind's patch is rather similar to
Laurent's). Since Laurent and I both agree that
merging the two different approaches into one driver
is impractical, we are left with a choice of either
deciding in favor of one patch and reject the other,
or to include two separate driver packages into the
repository.
Do we need more input to make a decision? In this case
I'd suggest to post to ecos-devel to draw more
attention at this topic. To me the main question seems
to be whether it is more important to reduce system load
or to preserve the semantics of driver operations to
keep them consistent across different platforms. As this
is a very basic question, some developers might want to
comment on it.
