Hello,
my current work in the AT91 SoCs will add several new drivers.
Some of them require new header files in arch-at91 or amendments to existing header files there. Same for some at91 specific header files in driver/*.
In existing header files it is adding adresses for going-to-be-used devices and proper struct SoC defines for them, the new header files will only allow struct SoC access anyway.
If I add those discrete changes to each driver patch (where it might actually belong), the incremental changes to some of those files would require all those driver patches to be applied in the right order to avoid conflicts.
Therefore I would like to put all new header files and all changes to header files in one patch which would need to be applied before the driver patches.
That patch would essentially cause no change to existing code.
Anyone find this idea bad?
