Thanks for reviewing this and the underlying driver. yes, we do have Bluetooth/FM/GPS handling inside the TI ST driver, on addition of further technologies we do plan to have them inside the ST driver too. The understanding of BT or FM or GPS is required for the ST driver because, the data coming from the chip can either be of these technologies, further-more the data might not come in a set. As in, an a2dp/ftp ACL frame might come in 2 frames instead of 1, and in other cases, there might be a HCI-EVENT + FM CH8 data in a single frame received by the UART. > So I'm going to clear NACK this.

So as I see it the tty_receive which translates to st_int_recv() in TI-ST is the area of concern for you ... So any suggestions as to how we can go about just abstracting the BT, FM and GPS data part to their individual drivers? > Please fix this and come back when you have a proper solution for your > driver. > > -- > Gustavo F.
