Hmm, don't know. I think these patches aren't aimed at solving exynos's problem but rather a general solution which must have already been there. If some platform can work without it then its fine, but otherwise they should use it, even if udelay does work for them.. So, I would propose to go ahead with these patches in linux-next and lets see who all would use it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
