I don't mind if it's drivers/bus or drivers/memory. But I'm wondering: When is a driver a bus driver when it is a memory driver? See imx-weim and atmel-ebi. Apparently both add support for devices attached on a bus which can be accessed through memory addresses :) Best regards, Alexander -- Dipl.-Inf.
