The goal is to eventually get this into linux-mips upstream by breaking it up |
| 21 |
into separate patches for review. Right now, though, I just wanted to put |
| 22 |
something out there for others to hack on and maybe improve things. There are |
| 23 |
still some drivers that Octane uses that can work on other systems that have |
| 24 |
problems on those other systems. Specifically, the IOC3 metadriver. That |
| 25 |
doesn't work on IP27 right now, and that's the bare minimum that has to be |
| 26 |
fixed before I can send things upstream, since upstream won't accept two |
| 27 |
different variants of IOC3 code for two different systems. |
