Not yet. But our [patch 2/3] of this series defines the DT entry for the GTA04 devices: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/30/663 > >> Maybe could you accept it as a first step for this specific driver (and let’s do >> the big standardization work later on)? > > That does not work, since you create an ABI. Hm. I don’t understand what you mean with creating an ABI? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
