The file won't get compiled. I understand we won't gain anything with this, this is just another tree to hold, and this is one of the main reason I stopped pushing this patch. > The patch is submit worthy and cater most of the requirements, but due to some dependencies it has blocked till now. Well, what would be the gain on having it there upstream without being capable of compiling? I would prefer if you add it at some -hg tree and ask me to pull after having the DSS2 library at upstream or at linux-next.
