a lot of the early questions will be based on clarifying details of the driver model, as the current documentation under Documentation/driver-model/ is somewhat out of date so i desperately need to put together something far more current.
I'll gladly accept patches to fix up the in-kernel documentation for the driver-model. A number of things have changed in this area over the past years, especially in the power managment area.
But really, almost no "normal" developer has to mess with the kernel at this layer, it's rare that someone writes a new bus or subsystem.
Ok, well, we add about one new one every kernel release, so there would be 6 new developers a year that could benifit from better documentation, not a huge number :)
you might be surprised at how simple some of my questions are going to be. :-) and, yes, i'll see what i can contribute to the in-kernel documentation -- under Documentation/driver-model, certainly, the "class.txt" file looks pretty badly out of date. or is any of that content even being kept up to date given the DocBook content? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
