This is not really the Linux way of doing something. You don't throw something away and replace it. You incrementally modify what you have into something better. I really wished you had moved the code, unmodified, into global1_atu.c. Then made lots of easy to review small changes. I cannot just look at this patch and know it is correct. What i need to compare against is not in this patch. So it is a lot harder to review. I will continue this review later... Andrew
