This only affect the hardware IO layer of some cards and I think it will be fixed very soon, I did not remove the very old #error line, because I did not had the hardware to verify that it is OK now. I already reserved a PPC machine now (will get it today or tomorrow) and will test the endian robustness this week. > In which case it really should not be in Linus tree but in linux-next. > Karsten - will you ask Linus to revert mISDN so it can go into linux-next > instead and get cleaned up in the right place ? > This was my original plan and my fault, that I only included the pull URL and sent it to Linus diectely, I did not know that in this case Linus will pull it without further discussion, but I'm still glad that it is in and only show few issues (I'm very unhappy that I did not find these before, I did builds on all our architectures, but not with the all*config, only with subsets). The good thing is, that this brought back the ENDIAN issue back on my radar and on my near time TODO list :-) -- Karsten Keil SuSE Labs ISDN and VOIP development SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr.5 90409 Nuernberg, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
