We didn't want to release it as a "real" driver because: - It's not stable enough yet. - It doesn't implement all the features required by the MA USB spec. - The MA USB spec isn't standalone. It requires a supplemental spec to define media-specific behavior, like how MA USB packets are encapsulated, how to discover MA USB devices on a network, etc. So far, no media-specific specifications have been published. - There are no commercially-available Media Agnostic USB devices. We wanted to release it to staging now because: - We have received requests from multiple companies for our host MA USB driver. Putting it in staging seemed the best way to distribute it. - We feel that releasing what we have to staging now could promote collaboration on one driver & help prevent duplicate work. > >> + - address miscellaneous "TODO" statements in code >> + - add support for multiple media agnostic (MA) devices >> + - add/improve support for unimplemented packet types >> + - handle errors and failure with more grace and less crash >> + >> +Please send patches to Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@xxxxxxxxx> and cc: > >You didn't use this email address... > >> + Sean Stalley <sean.stalley@xxxxxxxxx> >> + Stephanie Wallick <stephanie.s.wallick@xxxxxxxxx> >> + > >Just make a MAINTAINERS entry please for this info. > We will include a MAINTAINERS entry in our next patch in lieu of emails (especially incorrect emails) in the TODO.
