Date: Mon, 4 Feb 2008 12:37:14 +0100 From: Kristoffer Ericson <kristoffer.ericson@...il.com> To: ben@...tech.co.uk, Paul Mundt <lethal@...ux-sh.org> Cc: linux-sh <linux-sh@...r.kernel.org>, linux-main <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Questions regarding mfd drivers Greetings, Trying to wrap my head around sm501. From what I can tell an mfd driver is a "master" driver that takes control of all memory and io areas. It then hands out areas of those to drivers. Anywhere near correct? I can see some benefit but still hard for me to motivate. What am I missing? What will the mfd be able to do, that I lack now? The sm501 driver seems way more advanced than I will need for hd64461/hd64465 anyhow, but still need to understand sm501 completely before attempting to write one on my own. Anyone know any documentation aside from example drivers?
