If the LCD-linux people make an attempt to go into the mainline, I promise I will immediately migrate my driver out of drivers/misc and out into drivers/lcd or wherever it'll end up. I cannot drive it however, they seem to be using special hardware I haven't got access to. > They seems to have a support for HD44780 LCD controller. That's not the tricky bit of this driver actually, though there is sure code to be de-duplicated if LCD-linux is merged, ARM have some special-purpose silicon to handle the HD44780 e.g. to fire interrupts when the display responds etc. Yours, Linus Walleij -- 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/
