Either submit all of this stuff "properly", or put it in staging, don't cross the boundry if at all possible, it just causes a lot of confusion and headache as the staging stuff could be deleted at any time. You still haven't explained why you feel drivers/staging/ is the right place for this codebase. Again, why not just submit it "properly"? thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
