What would you suggest I do to warn people that this interface is deprecated and I would like to remove it? Why do you think that idr_find() is more intuitive than xa_load()? The 'find' verb means that you search for something. But it doesn't search for anything; it just returns the pointer at that index. 'find' should return the next non-NULL pointer at-or-above a given index. _______________________________________________ greybus-dev mailing list greybus-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/greybus-dev
