So it's not something that just works for all buses and someone would need to write a patch (hint, hint - that's one of the big blockers here)? It is a bit surprising to me that this would be something that the buses would need to cope with individually since for most things the matching mechanics are taken care of in the driver core and we're explicitly overriding them here. --DOr+hlVy7JMLa9bO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVU4xJAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQfgIH/2U9reWKR+eGRWDNpwm1Slvc u9ACTKWf0z8m+8tXctrX+pxbjE22CzaoYCWvkoFjp8WKcbEJf7tHmE/YpspWaYXL mFQzyo27DZ4IieHIbzeVUyh5Q18kL6GxBjImfCoZLq0z7Yi3rcS2IL1xK4n9v2LD Wl7/Ttyi93HGjPgQ9oUDe+soSl0aa5O0dMo9t75P4dEgoBekS/0L4WT/XGOZv+46 /XhAGtfOQMg4HVvYTUpdCv/66mWiC32NoRq16kLqb1Vi0sd13Zlm2JXL2HDh1Cn7 0lE9/d8kcz/WnDadA4IG4P7Lzi/LzB4IU015DVmiAkiM3OfnalfBmxYoLA1mFNE= =6uiH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DOr+hlVy7JMLa9bO-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
