I'm not willing to commit to supporting this code with the virt_to_phys() hack in place, but I also don't want to block Felipe from having an incentive to fix up the ACPI core so we can do this cleanly. What I suggested was adding it to the asus-wmi driver and wrapping the functionality with CONFIG_STAGING in order to indicate that there were no promises that this feature would remain, and then giving Felipe a few months to do the ACPI work. If it got done in a reasonable time then we'd keep the code, and if not I'd drop it. I certainly didn't suggest writing a separate driver, let alone putting it in staging. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59@xxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
