Yes, that is correct. The framework is different, but functionality wise, you should be able to achieve the same (and a bit more). > Is this going to be final version for the framework?

Jassi is working through a newer version of the patches, so there would be minor changes once the newer patchset is ready, but the core framework/functionality shouldn't change much from above. Do take a look at the framework (much of the explaination in header files) and see how it fits your driver needs. regards Suman > > > On Thu, Jun 13, 2013 at 11:59 PM, Suman Anna <s-a...@ti.com > <mailto:s-a...@ti.com>> wrote: > > Tan, > > On 06/13/2013 06:01 AM, LF.Tan wrote: > > Hi > > I would like to add a new mailbox driver with this mailbox framework. > > May I know this mailbox framework will available in kernel v3.10 or it > > is pushed to v3.11? > > > > Thanks. > > This framework is dropped from v3.10 as this is being reworked and will > be replaced with a different one that adds atomic context and tx > callback support [1].
