The other thing to bear in mind with things like this is that often if it's the chip vendor they've got mechanisms to generate the register definitions directly from the chip design so if we take the complete thing with minimal edits it's a great way of ensuring we've got information about the chip in the upstream kernel to support future development. --k4nxp35gqq27j42m Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAABCAAdFiEEreZoqmdXGLWf4p/qJNaLcl1Uh9AFAljndK4ACgkQJNaLcl1U h9AcrQf/fG+V7Yqvtyj+A9tD0Pa38YObImkcpc/f14hebTVi+wnwaAb31NfjLeZx MTN45CwPQBj80UhTFhFaYKeOOPAmtmH7QWr0PqW33f99e/Qcvv2nyQOTaw6Mqef8 p8JwoPBdrejXb+sftbbMhMt1Ti6ZIOGvV/v64REmHwxNp/nL5DkiqjEjHD2DgoKl ZrE4ayBB5w6YQgaWruaEuTEJQRL5R3HK9v8AyFtdY12iMlTsd+UTevqoJmi0vrLW hx2AdajwjehAC/n8rSY9vE+Gc+KAKcEHjYCNVWClP4hQ1y4vecVE6/bLsKDlze9C RTA+TF7mDZWi2Vokx9b+JqAZXk4NaQ== =4XT0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --k4nxp35gqq27j42m--
