Hmmm, if that's the rule then I apologize. I had thought that arch
specific drivers were okay (assuming not part of a common subsystem
like USB, Eth, etc). The driver went through a number of review
cycles on the linuxppc mailing list and the comments had settled down.
I didn't see any problem in merging it as it is a platform specific
driver only used by the Xilinx Virtex chips. It is only used by
arch/powerpc and only when CONFIG_XILINX_VIRTEX is selected.
Linus has already pulled Paul's tree so the patch is already merged
upstream. Does it need to come back out?
Stephen, can you please repost you patch to the LKML? Even if the
driver is allowed to stay in for the time being you can at least get
feedback on what needs to be changed.
Cheers,
