I do not see any driver in the kernel you are talking about. https://www.marc.info/?l=linux-pci&m=141547043110684&w=2 >> >> >> Are you sure that iProc isn't based on the BCMA bus infrastructure after >> all?

Older BCM47xx/BCM53xx MIPS-based SoCs traditionally started with a discoverable Silicon Sonics Backplane (drivers/ssb) and progressively migrated to BCMA (drivers/bcma), both subsystems offer a very similar bus/device/driver abstraction and discovery mechanism. -- Florian -- 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/
