If I understand correctly, splitting hub.h into hub.h + ch11.h is independent of the move. At the end the 2 (or 3 files) would end up

correct?

Two files. The first would be ch11.h (or maybe keep the name hub.h; I'm not sure which is best), and the second would be hcd.h (including the leftover parts from the original hub.h).


OK. understood now ;-)

I've tried to move hub.h and hcd.h and to compile the kernel, already.
Changing the path of the #include directives in ~40 files did the trick.

Would you like 2 patches (move and then split) or only 1?

If it weren't for the rename, I'd say do it in two patches. But if the name is changed to ch11.h then those 40 files would have to be altered twice.

Well, most of the files include hcd.h (which includes hub.h),
only ~4 of them directly use hub.h.
So what's your vote? rename hub.h into ch11.h?

Eric.
