They have a roadmap that doesn't include getting this driver supported in mainline any time soon, so I'm taking time to get this done for our own system. I'm not meaning to step on any toes. > How true. You are not the only one with thatt problem. Ben, can you possibly send me your complete patch set on top of 3.8, or point me to a git tree ? I have exactly the same problem, I need the code in 3.8, it doesn't seem like the Freescale code will show up anytime soon, and I don't seem to be able to get early code for testing either. I can promise you a free test coverage and bug fixing ... Thanks, Guenter
