Damn right it's nutty. Imagine the number of ways you can wire up 1-8 flash chips in either 8-bit or 16-bit mode to a bus which is between 8 and 64 bits wide. Deal with it in software, with a "chip driver" abstraction which knows what data to put at which address on each _chip_, and which needs to calculate the corresponding bus data/address. In the sensible case where you build in support for what you have -- one interleave, one mode, one bus size -- it's simple. And that's why it's inline. This is one of the cases where 'allyesconfig' just doesn't make much sense. I'm not entirely averse to taking it out-of-line, but show me data on the interesting case rather than the allyesconfig case. And tell me about it in about two weeks' time when the sky stops falling on my head and I get to go home. :) -- dwmw2 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
