See: I think we should wait on applying these patches until we globally sort out what to do with the rdma uapi. It just doesn't make alot of sense for drivers to have their own personal char devices. :( A second char dev for the eeprom? How is that OK? Why aren't you using the I2C layer for this? Why is there a snoop interface in here? How is that not something that belongs in a the core code? Jason
