[PATCH 1/2] genalloc: add support of named pool

Sun Feb 5 13:29:35 EST 2012


so we can get the pool in the driver by name instead of passing it via
parameter

this will be use on AT91 to get access from different drivers to the sram or
gpbr as example

Hi,

	if you don't mind I'll apply this via at91 tree as it's needed to
	finish a cleanup on at91 to allow multiple soc in the same kernel

Best Regards,
J.
