Subject: Re: [MeeGo-Dev][PATCH] Topcliff: Update PCH_IEEE1588 driver to 2.6.35

Hi Greg,

> Do they all have to be ioctls?  What exactly are they doing?
I think using ioctl is common for this patch.
Do you think that using ioctl is NOT appropriate for this patch?
Let me know your intension in more detail.

Only 32bit support.

Thanks, Ohtake
