BTW, I've been thinking about the following sets of patches for the next merge window: 1. Do the include directories for mach-omap1 and mach-omap2 as suggested by Russell earlier 2. Move all mux code to only live under arch/arm/*omap*/ and make sure drivers don't call omap_cfg_reg() any longer 3. Remove the enumeration for the mux and require all the boards to register the pins they'll use After these it should be trivial to improve the mux code further. The steps 2 3 above will be most likely breaking things for some boards, so help will be needed with testing. FYI... I've updated the pinmux section of the OMAP wishlist wiki with this rough plan from Tony. http://elinux.org/OMAP_wishlist Kevin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-omap in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
