Dear w.wegner@astro-kom.de,

Where is this block write function being implemented?
I don't see it anywhere in the patch, nor any code that actually uses it?
sorry, my wording was probably wrong. This current patch only adds the framework in the FPGA code needed to use such a block write function.
Like all FPGA load functions, the function itself is located in my board- specific code (which is not yet submitted because I have to clean up some coding style issues in one of the files and it depends on the other patches I sent). My understanding was that such framework changes should always be sent as seperate patches and the (new) board that uses it as a different patch.
Yes, but we don't add one without the other. There have been too many cases where people asked for fancy features for specific boards that were out-of-tree ports without any attempts to get merged, so we now always wait for actual use cases. [I do not want to suggest that I consider yours as one of these situations, but the effect is the same.]
I put this patch on hold until you submit code that requires / uses it.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
