Looking at 2.4.18, I see that the the variable in immap_8260.h for the
SCC's Protocol-Specific Mode Register is called the scc_pmsr. All the
#defines for it are called SCC_PMSR_blah.
As you can see someone called it the pmsr instead of the psmr which it
should be. All of the code for the FCC's uses the correct acronym
however..
The code I look at and compile all uses the correct (incorrect) name for
the SCC PSMR, so should we bother to write a patch to fix this? I'm
inclined to say yes, only because it's frustrating to me to program
drivers and such with incorrect names :)
Since this would be my first kernel patch, are there any resources on
how to build patches and against what, and who to submit em
too??? thanks!
