My original series contained four more patches that I did not post again after there was some concern[1] that we did not come to a conclusion on: isdn: gigaset: remove i4l code isdn: move isdnhdlc out of i4l isdn: i4l: move hisax driver to staging isdn: move i4l to staging I can post those as well, at least I think the first two are helpful for untangling i4l from the rest of ISDN. I also still think that moving hisax and i4l to staging is reasonable given the state of that code, even if there are a couple of users today.
