I can go through the archive and read my own comments, but if I rejected the patches, then there was a reason for that. You did have a reason, and I don't complain about the rejection at all. The reason I reply is that Petri asked why there's a patch in Ubuntu and not in upstream, and, with all due respect, the answer of "That is Ubuntu for you. They just push patches into their kernel and never give them back to upstream or make sure they get merged into bluetooth-next." doesn't reflect what happened. The launchpad link Petri mentioned is all about patching btusb instead of using userspace loader, but guess you're too busy to read the short description. For Petri's question, patches have been rejected for several times. Since these patchram modules are equipped on more and more devices recently, making them supported is better than just leaving them unsupported, even with a solution that does not perfectly match the expectation of upstream IMHO. That's why I tried to push these rejected patches into Ubuntu kernel. The Ubuntu kernel team accepted them though they do have concerns about these patches are not accepted by upstream. I'm still working on a solution when I have time to do so. And as I didn't subscribe to this mailing list, would you mind to show me the questions you're referring to? Most likely I won't have answers to all of the questions, after all, all the clue I have is the userspace loader. But I'd be more than happy to give it a try.
