Hi again Russel.
I have been talking to David Brownell and some other developers connected to
ADI(Analgo devices) about the SPI to MMC subsystem driver. That idea will
probably be implemented in a later phase. For now, i will complete my MMC/SD
driver that connects to the common SPI framwork and will remain independent
of the MMC subsystem so it can be used on uClinux platforms(ADI Blackfin
based to a start) sooner.
For that reason am i talking to you. By a mere coincidence i saw that you are
the author of /drivers/mmc/mmc_queue.c driver and hence i guess you have some
knowledge regarding request processing that may be useful to the project.
I would say my driver need some attention to that particular part. And i would
appreciate any help. As of now, it is a very naive way of walking the request
queue(a la LDD handbook) and it need to support some basic error handling.
I have posted a copy of the make_request implementation here(~150 lines):
http://hasse.yohoo.nu/strat.txt
It is quite extesively commented, and some important questions at the end.
Hope you can have look at it and maybe give me a guideline.
If you dont have the time, i understand, maybe you know someone who has?
