Re: CY* patch for SX164 (was RE: 2.2.4 goodie)

> Is there a chance the patch gets included into the kernel ?
i'm trying to get it in for quite some time, but since no new
hardware support is due for 2.2.x (as far as i know) it will
not be included in the current kernel.
the best i could do, was getting it into the ide-udma development
kernel patches. it'll probably take 2.3.x to get it into the 
kernel :-(.

> Seems like the thing it does is correct initilaization of the chip.
that's the only thing it does the rest is done by the generic ide
support. and the parts initialized are only those relevant to the
ide support.

i don't know since i only looked at the ide specific parts of the chip,
but have a look at the datasheet, there are lot's of registers :-).

ask cypress? they've build it, so maybe they can help.
