Subject: [PATCH] firewire: cdev: increment ABI version number
Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 21:06:07 +0100 (CET)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <tkrat.f3725b33bc1bfdaa@s5r6.in-berlin.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <tkrat.9650095fffa41adc@s5r6.in-berlin.de>

so that clients can detect whether the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER ioctl
is reliable (on all tested controllers, especially the widely used VIA
controllers, also NEC controllers, see commits b677532b and 1c1517ef).
Also add a comment on the 2.6.32 iso xmit enhancement.
