[Prism54-devel] Re: Interrupt Polling

[Rodel Miguel]

Hi Margit,

How about performance? There are lots of workaround on the firmware
loading and hotplugging, i.e. initialization routines.

Thanks!

Regards,
Rodel

Just my 2 cents: 
prism54 is working perfectly on PowerPC405/Embedded (however we're using
normal Linux, not uClinux)

What makes you think that it isn't stable on non-x86 arches ?

What do you mean "needs to be fixed" ?
The hotplug firmware loading mechanism in 2.4 and 2.6 is the preferred
way of doing things. It's just not suitable for embedded devices that
usually
lack the hotplug infrastructure.
