Re: why use the SA1110-USB-driver a static /dev/usbs... definition ???

["oliver munz]

Hi Andrew

You are right. I use an "arm-elf-gcc (GCC) 3.4.4"... I will try Your patch, 
when the driver is doing something.

If I understand the use of "static" in the USB-driver, then its only a 
matter of being not visible outside of the USB-driver. If the symbol will be 
in the library is controlled by the cdl-headers and compiler optimation is 
not usefull...

Thanks
Oli
