Re: kernel dsr handling new option
Hi Gerster and Uwe (and all others as well :-)
Making multiple drivers for same device is not a good practice. We'll
end up with a bunch of same (or similar) drivers. It's better to 1st see
what's ready and make the rest. For instance I'll be happy to have
FlexCAN for my MAC7100.
Twice I noted that there is a already a driver for ESCI, that I wrote
for MAC7100 but with portability to other platforms (architectures too)
in mind. I got no reply - is it taken in consideration?...
I guess it would be good if we (developers for Freescale chips) make an
effort to coordinate driver development for Freescale peripherals.
Best regards
Ilija

I developed this driver in a way that the order of DSR's should not matter because a DSR is invoked only once for a number of interrupts and reads the messages in the order they arrived. Could you please tell me which test failed and could you give me the console output and some details of the way you executed the test. If DSR order do matter then there would be a bug in this driver and I need to fix it.
