If it is, and thus we can That's what Greg did when he pulled stuff into staging, but there is no reason not to do it outside of staging as well. We can simply put the stub functions into Documentation/feature-removal.txt to ensure that we don't forget about them :) > simplify the driver merging process short-term while sorting out a > long-term implementation or replacement for suspend blockers, then I > think we're making real progress. Yes, that way we do not lose the annotations. Replacing them, ripping them out or whatever we agree on, is a nobrainer. But it gets the drivers into the tree, so they are usable outside of android as well and the delta between android and mainline shrinks significantly.
