At OLS we reviewed how CRDA [1] and its integration with the kernel

works. One comment was to have the kernel call a uevent instead of

calling call_usermodehelper() as this is a better accepted way of

calling user mode helpers and it provides a better framework. I still

am not sold on this but regardless I'd like to give it a shot. It

seems we would need to register a class for this.


Marcel I know you also mentioned about using device platform for this?

Is this correct or did I misunderstand? Can you elaborate a bit?


Thanks,


  Luis

good, because I was running quite busy on my side. You could use a class

like the firmware loader does btw.
