Handling of PRUs in kernel module #7

Closed geissdoerfer closed 5 years ago

geissdoerfer commented 5 years ago

Currently, the kernel module polls for the PRUs by trying a range of phandles during initialization. This is an ugly workaround and may not work under all circumstances. Instead, the shepherd kernel module should be registered as a platform driver for the PRUs and automatically probed, once the PRUs are detected by the kernel.

Thanks for filling the Issue.

We can get rid of this "ugly workaround" by writing a platform-driver-kernel-modul. I will go deeper into this in the next few weeks.
