I think it would be a good idea to merge ahci upstream using the
ahci_imx.c method for now. You already indicated that you were not against
doing that for now.
Well, the thing is nothing actually happened since ahci_imx got
merged, so I'm wondering maybe there isn't enough pressure.
I a slowly progressing on the improved platform driver, but still
waiting on an answer about my clock question that I asked a few days ago.
Oliver is working on getting a cleaner solution for this, but doing this
properly takes tinme, and we would like to move forward with getting
sunxi ahci support upstream in the mean time.
So if it is ok with you we would like to move forward with the version
initially posted. Therefor I would like to request you to review it
(glossing over the platform device instantiating a platform device
approach for now), and provide us with feedback so that we can do a v2
and start moving this towards the mainline kernel.
We still have some time left before the next merge window and if it's
really necessary, I can submit drivers post -rc1 too, so I'd still
*much* prefer doing it properly rather than creating more drivers
which would need to be cleaned up later.
Since I do this in my spare time and my technical skill isn't as
advanced as some, I don't think I have something reviewed and merge-able
before that time frame. I do enjoy the challenge and do like working on
the new ahci_platform framework. and do wish to continue to work on it
however.
Oliver
Thanks.
