did you actually rewrite this thing from scratch ? seems like you should keep Cliff as the author in git/MODULE_AUTHOR, and then add your name to the s-o-b list and this macro.
Not from scratch, but I guess except for the register definitions and the copyright header not much of the original driver is left: sound/soc/codecs/adau1701.c | 662 ++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 files changed, 371 insertions(+), 291 deletions(-)
based purely on LoC, Cliff wrote 467, so you took that and punted 291 (62%) and then added 371. that leaves the final file with 32% Cliff and 68% you.
however, some of that was register renaming and shuffling between the adau1701.c and adau1701.h, and it's easier to start with a base and clean up than from scratch.
so i'm definitely not comfortable dropping Cliff's completely from the file and the log (which means he needs to be readded and made sure to be retained in all the other ADAU drivers going forward), and i'm not entirely sold about changing of the Author field in the git commit.
don't get me wrong ... i'm not a fanboi of Cliff or something, i just think credit is due to him for his work.
You have both the orignal driver and the new driver, so you can do the diff for yourself.
i did do that already which is why i commented on the register renaming
But of course if you want to see his name as the author, you get his name as the author.
if you feel strongly about it, then you may keep your name there
to be clear, i'm like 50/50 on the git author field. maybe someone else here has an opinion, or you feel strongly enough that your rewrite supersedes his seeding work. but please send a v2 with updated source/changelog with his name in it.
His name is already in the copyright header.
sorry, i missed that the first time. but also list him in MODULE_AUTHOR (i'll leave order preference to you). -mike
