Could be handled with a 'select' control bit. Only when set select entry and reset offset to zero. Also: would it make sense to allow an *array* of FWCfgDmaAccess structs? With a 'more' bit in control we could indicate that there are more entries. I'm not sure firmware would actually use that though ... cheers, Gerd -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
