Hi,
I'm working parport_pc to store ECP FIFO read residues, and I was
wondering where I should save them.
My first idea was to add 2 fields in the struct parport (a pointer to
the fifo residue, and the size of the residue). That shouldn't be a
problem for muxes, cause each mux creates a clone of the physical
parallel port, but what about daisy chains, mechanical parport switches,
... ? Saving FIFO residue for a peripheral and giving back that residue
to another peripheral driver doesn't seem to be a good idea.
My second idea was to save it in struct pardevice. That solves the
problem of 'sharing' residues among several devices, but how can I
access that struct pardevice when in parport_pc_ecp_read_block_pio ?
I'm waiting for your comments.
Cheers,
Laurent Pinchart
