Please tell me if the next one is linewrapped too.
Why would you need to touch udev? It will handle stuff loaded at any
point in time automatically. You don't have to "update udev" at all.
My fault. My firsts tests were on a Vector Linux, and, I don't know
why (bad cfg I guess), but udev didn't create the nodes automatically.
Now, in Debian, it does. I have noticed that and the last patch
doesn't have such lines. Sorry.
Do you really mean for your header file to be under the GPL for
userspace programs?
Ups, it is just an example for a user-space program that wants to use
the cfag12864b. I will remove the License line anyway.
Which version of the GPL?
The same as the kernel, I think. Is that right?
[about useless printk's]
Is this really needed?
It isn't anymore. In the patch it is also removed and all the printks
improved, as Alexey Dobriyan told me also to do.
"Display" is very generic, people will think it is for video stuff too.
LCD perhaps might be better?
I thought the same, but LCD is already used by the "PDA Frontal LCD
Panel". They got the "linux/lcd.h" and "drivers/lcd/*", as well as a
fixed major number.
So I thought "bigger" and, IMHO a new folder for this kind of
misc-secondary-display devices (LCD or not) will be fine.
I think (maybe I'm wrong but...), we can just put the drivers right
there. There are a lot of this kind of hardware, but it will take time
to code more drivers. So if the resulting drivers are so different or
the drivers/* get a major update, relocate them. If not, leave them
until we have enough samples to start classifying.
