What is keeping it out of the "real" part of the kernel tree? And staging code is self-contained, putting files in arch/* isn't ok for it, which kind of implies that you should get this merged correctly. I need a lot more information here before I can take this code... thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
