Subject: Re: [Ksummit-discuss] [TECH TOPIC] Driver model/resources, ACPI, DT, etc (sigh)
Date: Mon, 5 May 2014 09:58:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACRpkdbiurS=m=2wH4-9G8pjVwDZfKykVW+12UWMpHjNBm8ppg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAOesGMghcsw+xeGRBoTSNwWnADTJfF=hgtFUQfnu9L3Lg1cCjA@mail.gmail.com>
On this topic I need to add:
how are the ACPI HW descriptions really happening?
I as subsystem maintainer have no real contact with these people,
I can only get a *vague* feeling that sometimes, they live in an ancient
world of assumptions that do not hold.
Specifically I am worried when seeing some ACPI stuff that their idea
of pin control is "some sort of fancy GPIO-bolt on" and I fear they will
attempt to model and implement this with an ugly interface that we
will have to account for later, instead of reading say
Documentation/pinctrl.txt and learn something about how software
engineers go about handling such hardware.
Where is the communication entry port for a driver subsystem
maintainer that want to bring a message to the ACPI HW bindings
people?
Yours,
Linus Walleij
