linux-next is your best choice if you don't know much
<s_frit>
linux-next? you mean from kernel.org? there is no linux-next in the linux-sunxi repo. (you are correct, i know barely anything)
<wens>
yeah, linux-next from kernel.org

ok. but won't that mean i miss more recent work applicable to H5? or do you guys not maintain a staging branch ahead of mainline? (sorry for stupid questions)
<wens>
-next is the staging
<wens>
linux-next is the collection of most if not all -next branches
<s_frit>
ok, so if someone were already working on i2s support for H5, either it will already be in linux-next or it will only be in their personal tree?
<s_frit>
another question, in that case: what is the role of the linux-sunxi repo? is it used for staging new development?
<fALSO>
yap
<fALSO>
that then gets merged into mainline
<wens>
no, linux-sunxi is mostly the legacy kernel
<wens>
only the sunxi-next branch is considered a collection of tracked stuff in -next
<wens>
it is a subset of linux-next managed by me
<s_frit>
ok, so sunxi-next is unlikely to be far ahead of linux-next?
<wens>
it is mostly behind
<s_frit>
alright. thankyou. this gives me plenty to work with.

If I do a read from DATA fifo on smhc (a64) , does it auto clear? How do I know it isnot the same data the next read? I am checking for "not empty fifo" before each read
<micken>
or.. did I asume wrong .. should i wait for fifo full?
