The only situation I can see where SVR would be absent is if we were to integrate this device into an ARM chip, in which case I'd expect there to be some equivalent way to find the SoC identification. If the driver knows what SoC version it expects, it will know the way that that SoC advertises its version. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
