Hi Guennadi,

Dialog are planning to submit a DA9063 driver that 'stands alone' instead of being fully integrated with a combined DA9210 driver (i.e. the one that was uploaded to the mailing list about a year ago). Having said that, there will be a strong similarity between the combined DA9063/DA9210 mailing-list driver and the upcoming stand-alone DA9063 driver.

This DA9063 work is continuing and it will be submitted to LKML after the DA9210 work has [hopefully] been accepted. In this way I am aiming to try and side-step as many DA9063 submission pitfalls as possible by ensuring any relevant comments from this DA9210 submission work have been added into the new driver.

I hope that helps...

Regards,
Steve
