It's going to be basically impossible to keep the out of tree in sync with the staging version because there are so many changes needed everywhere. Generally in the kernel we don't care about out of tree stuff. So the OS independent stuff is going to get completely re-worked. It's mechanical changes but it's a lot. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
