Then don't use it. It has legitimate uses. In fact: I object to newbus allocating the softc for exactly the reason this one is needed: There may be a 1:N or N:1 correspondence between softc's and newbus devices. In this case I have two newbus devices for one softc. (Well, actually I have two newbus devices for five softc's, but lets not get into that) >Apart from that, where is the manpage for it? On my TODO list. >Please make >sure you mention that this method should only be called in rare cases >where the softc allocated by the newbus system would not do for some >obscure reason. I disagree, as you can see above. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD coreteam member | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
