Hello
I have been trying to get the WL1273 FM radio driver into the kernel for some time. It has been kind of difficult, one of the reasons is that I didn't realize I should have tried to involve all relevant maintainers to the discussion form the beginning (AsoC, Media and MFD). At Mark's suggestion I'm trying to reopen the discussion now.
The driver consists of an MFD core and two child drivers (the audio codec and the V4L2 driver). And the question is mainly about the role of the MFD driver: the original design had the IO functions in the core. Currently the core is practically empty mainly because Mauro very strongly wanted to have “everything” in the V4L2 driver.
What was Mauro main concerns with having the IO part in the core ? A lot of MFD drivers are going that path already.
Cheers, Samuel.
