In fact we are in the middle of preparing DT and driver patches for upstreaming the out of tree drivers Neil is mentioning. So there are no users *yet* and maybe we are the first one. Neil has already completely argued and commented on that topic: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/23/736 Unfortunately he acked the removal with a completely non-technical argument: > Just at the moment I'm finding it hard to care. > So > Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx> Now we have the problem that it got kicked out while we were preparing the other parts :( On the other hand, please consider that we don’t have the manpower and knowledge to modify bigger parts of Linux besides plumbing together parts that already exist and add drivers and DT nodes. So please consider again to re-add 9574f36fb801035f6ab0fbb1b53ce2c12c17d100. Or should we resubmit it together with our DT/drivers where we use it?
