Subject: [RFC 0/2] x86: Add support for Atheros AR1520 GPS devices
Date: Fri, 6 May 2011 15:09:38 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1304719780-27347-1-git-send-email-lrodriguez@atheros.com> (raw)
These two patches adds support for the Atheros AR1520 GPS device,
currently only pegged onto an mrst platform. This creates a character
device called ar1520 and lets userspace talk to it through it. My only
concern against this approach is that it this requires a custom userspace
application for reseting the device, waking it up and for blocking reads
through ioctl. The character device can be used to read/write data to it
as well.
I'll try to get more information and details on the userspace application
and document stuff here:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ar5120
In the meantime some review and testing would be appreciated as I modified
the original code a bit.
