SubjectFilename case conflict Documentation/io-mapping.txt and Documentation/IO-mapping.txt
Date
Hi,

Do we really want these two filenames as they are right now?
We have:
Documentation/IO-mapping.txt
Documentation/io-mapping.txt

9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 1) The io_mapping functions in linux/io-mapping.h provide an abstraction for
9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 2) efficiently mapping small regions of an I/O device to the CPU. The initial
9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 3) usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where
9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 4) ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU
9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 5) as it would consume too much of the kernel address space.

9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 7) A mapping object is created during driver initialization using

9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 9) struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base,
9663f2e6 (Keith Packard 2008-10-30 19:38:18 -0700 10) unsigned long size)

So the IO-mapping.txt was there first. Keith, can't we rename your
file? For example,

Documentation/io-mapping.txt => Documentation/io-mapping.h.txt
