It's almost all completely irrelevant and uninteresting to me. > > Is this [1] getting fixed in SPI any time soon? Looks like there was > > some progress [2], but AFAICT it's not completed. Please include human readable descriptions of things like commits IDs and issues being discussed in e-mail in your mails, this makes them much easier for humans to read especially when they have no internet access. I do frequently catch up on my mail on flights or while otherwise travelling so this is even more pressing for me than just being about making things a bit easier to read. > > I'd just like to know what the way forward here should be for m25p80. > > Really, "jedec,spi-nor" never autoloaded modules very reliably because > > of the SPI core constaints.

Someone will need to tell me what the actual problem is for m25p80 before I can understand what the way forward might be. From a brief scan through of the thread it looks like if Javier's series solves the problem it needs a bit more analysis and/or a clearer presentation and probably a resubmit. --ZNotpC0yWfjHZxBL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJWRmBMAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQOToH/29eMcGoWfQvUycC8pIA5jgG Cgla/RW3QTCWfenJ9POx39Srp09zGj+ic1ftrf8xrazV9fcUcwXtST2aU3EnMauC FQOCwwSVTpDQwnc4qJ7rZfsRkovJqmKNRmITEcHJbcng9RK6PacpgsENKSC/Iw/u PQQRD2sSc66joqiyus8pT5RVY+qH3McSEVEt3XRUE+STnRJs6s/oJIwgEjs1/oW8 XosjNW0ukTpA9d59Vz1DeGkYoDJOAi46rqSMpG6G0CgvcSnV7iNFpGICQvZ778P1 VZ/xyeTXuYik5eJAKZZepUwm6nrE012Inisz8YBXyBbahf2GxtsNwXFsiiRevPk= =W4xW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZNotpC0yWfjHZxBL--
