realize, that it's mainly duplicated code. Does it not make more sense
to make a combined io/mem driver. If io address < 32K it's an io driver
else a mem driver.
Yes, that's possible. We can also decide on the used module parameter (mem or
io) what is to do. Passing both results in an error.
You are right that its duplicated code. But the driver is very simple. It
nearly does nothing but mapping, implementing register access callbacks,
registering and cleanup when unloading. But the driver differs in all these
points from the isa/io colleague. I like shot an simple drivers, so that you
do not have to care about breaking the isa/io part when modifying the mem
part.
There's one thing a I am not very satisfied with :-) Why passing half of
the
external clock frequency to the module. Because of compatiblity reasons I
kept this behavior of the clock paramter from the ISA driver.
The attached patch fixes this and replaces the module parameter "isa"
with "io". I also tend to rename the driver into rtcan_io instead
rtcan_isa if we keep it.
Sounds good.
Jan, could you apply this patch to avoid further confusion? The real CAN
clock frequency listed also in the proc file system is half of the
oscillator clock. Some more doc might help to avoid further confusion.
Wolfgang.
