Would that work for you? Is you end goal to get this out of staging? phylib vs phylink is not a reason to keep it in staging. It just seems odd to be adding new features to a staging driver. As a bit of a "carrot and stick" maybe we should say you cannot add new features until it is ready to move out of staging? But staging is not my usual domain. Andrew
