2008-09-23 06:57:40 Bugs in the SVN PPI driver? And if so, the better way to report them.

Hello,
I think there's 2 bugs in the SVN version of the "bfin_ppi.c" driver:
1°) In "ppi_read" and "ppi_write", the PPI_COUNT and PPI_FRAME aren't updated if not in CFG_PPI_DIMS_2D mode.
2°) In "ppi_read", whatever is the synchronization mode, we disable only the TIMER0, due to line 678.
So some questions before reporting them:
1°) Do I'm right ? I just begin to play with the PPI so I'm not totally sure.
2°) There's 2 differents bugs, is it better to report them in 2 differents trackers?
3°) As I can't fully test my correction, do I better to just report bug(s), or send my patches even if they aren't fully tested?
Thanks.

If you have done some investigation, it is OK to open a bug in the bug tracker - so it get tracked an will not get lost. If the bug assignee think the bug is invalid, the bug will be rejected. But it is OK to report.
>2°) There's 2 differents bugs, is it better to report them in 2 differents trackers?
Yes. Please report 2 bug, each bug focus on one issue.
>3°) As I can't fully test my correction, do I better to just report bug(s), or send my patches even if they aren't fully >tested?
Please attach the patch in the bug tracker.
