Hi Greg, Is there a way to signal people/tools that a certain driver parks in staging on their way **out** of the kernel and not the other way around? I guess you (nor Doug) don't want to spend time on fixing such drivers, right?I'm not spending the time :) But no, there isn't a way to really show that that I know of, and it's fine, we end up getting a number of "cleanup" patches for a kernel release or two before the drivers get deleted. It gets people involved in kernel development which is the key thing here, it's not like they are actually using these drivers... So it's fine, I take the patches, the people writing the patches are happy, and the code gets a bit nicer and feels better about itself before we kick it out the door.
I didn't mean to waste anyone's time on this. I'm just trying to get more familiar with the patch submission process into the kernel. And I'm doing this in my free time despite the address used. I probably should've noted that below to commit message. Martin
