~/kernel/g26/drivers/usb/host$ wc -l ohci*[hc] |grep total 9485 total ~/kernel/g26/drivers/usb/host$ wc -l ehci*[hc] |grep total 8709 total ~/kernel/g26/drivers/usb/host$ wc -l uhci*[hc] |grep total 4211 total ~/kernel/g26/drivers/usb/host$ wc -l sl811*[hc] |grep total 2472 total ~/kernel/g26/drivers/usb/host$ Of course a lot of the OHCI stuff is various flavors of bus glue (with more in the queue). And for one nyet-merged driver: ~/kernel/omap-2.6/drivers/usb/musb$ wc -l *[hc] | grep total 15223 total ~/kernel/omap-2.6/drivers/usb/musb$ That's an OTG driver so it includes both host and peripheral sides, plus currently bus glue for three different chunks of silicon (DaVinci, OMAP, TUSB6010 ... Blackfin on the way) with three different DMA engines (sigh). So it's not that big; larger than UHCI or sl811-hcd though. ;) > My experience with other drivers moved into the kernel is that you > end up rewriting it completely anyway.

I don't even know what a CPM2 is, or what kind of host it has. (Wasn't CPM the predecessor of MS-DOS?) Suggestions would be futile. - Dave _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
