Re: [PATCH] atmel_serial: Atmel RS485 support v2

[Alan Cox]

NAK - assorted problems, notably locking ones caused by the sysfs stuff
which should probably be dropped.

Please provide TIOCGRS485 as well

You should have TIOCGRS485 for providing the info back as part of the API

Expain the locking on this could you - I don't see what protects against
parallel ioctl and sysfs stuff ?

Why should this be public read ?

Locking versus sysfs ?

Ditto

Ditto


Given the locking mess you are going to create I would suggest dropping
the sysfs stuff.
