Now I am getting confused. :( Since this has already been merged I guess we need to maintain it now. So then should I fix the things you pointed out or should i instead give more priority to the DRM driver and fix these things later? And, just to inform you, there are two more fbdev drivers in staging, staging/sm750fb and staging/fbtft. And the ultimate goal of any driver in staging is to move out staging into the main part of the kernel. And I expect sm750fb to be ready for moving before 4.6 merge window. If you don't want any more fbdev drivers to be added then maybe you can have a talk with Greg about this. He is already in the cc. regards sudip -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
