[Prism54-devel] Re: First steps in commenting NET2280_EEPROM

[Jean-Baptiste Note]

Hi Feyd,

I'm taking the liberty to CC prism54-devel.

>From what i understand as far as usb is concerned, the hal never talks
directly to the hardware, but goes through the following functions :

return prism_interconnect_message_handle(context,msg);
to send message to the HAL.

return prism_interconnect_message_query(context, mask, ic_msg);
to get message from HAL.

I guess this may not be true, or more opaque, for pci due to memory mapping.

The actual message function used in the usb part are 
ic_message_handle and ic_message_query, I have written what i think is
correct glue code in the development tree
http://gxaafoot.homelinux.org/cgi-bin/archzoom.cgi/jean-baptiste.note@m4x.org--libre/XH8196--devo--0--patch-3/module/usb_softmac.c

If this is indeed the case, we'll have very accurate access to the i/o
of the HAL.

But maybe this was not what you meant :)
