Hello Daniel,
I'd be very happy to collaborate on this!
Great, let me see if I can cook a patch in the next days
My availability: I can dedicate time to work on this over the next few weeks. I'm happy to help with:
- Testing the new macros with IMX timer drivers
- Converting existing drivers as examples
- Reviewing and testing patches
- Documentation
That's awesome, thanks
My understanding is that, based on your RFC, we should use two macros — TIMER_OF_DECLARE_PDEV and TIMER_OF_DECLARE_PLATFORM_DRIVER.
Yes, but also sort out the existing TIMER_OF_DECLARE macro vs MODULE in order to prevent #ifdef MODULE in the drivers
A side note, as Trilok commented:
- you should not do top post. Keep inline comments with the previous emails so we can have the context.
- trim the emails when possible. IOW remove text not related with the discussion
- use text mode with the mailer, not html or whatever
- for more information refer to Documentation/process/email-clients.rst
Thanks for your help
-- Daniel
