Hello, Greg.
I'm afraid we're not on the same page. As mentioned in the original
patch description, XillyUSB and the existing Xillybus variant presents a
nearly identical API. User space programs see no difference when using
one or the other, except for different device file names. In that sen

Hello Greg,
Merging XillyUSB's driver into xillybus_core.c was of course the initial
idea. Practically, it turned out that this doesn't reduce the number of
code lines nor makes the code easier to understand: The XillyUSB driver
is a completely different deal internally, in almost every aspect

Hello Randy,
The new driver doesn't depend on XILLYBUS, so the patch puts it
correctly outside the "if XILLYBUS" clause. It indeed looks like a
mistake, but it isn't. :)
Thanks for paying attention to this.

Eli

The XillyUSB driver is the USB variant for the Xillybus FPGA IP core.
Even though it presents a nearly identical API on the FPGA and host,
it's almost a complete rewrite of the driver: The framework for exchanging
data on a USB bus is fundamentally different from doing the same
