Hi Greg, I agree that moving to the chipidea driver is the right thing to do.
However, does this mean that companies have to phase out their current legacy
drivers as soon as a new controller specific driver is introduced in kernel ??
Can't they decide their own schedule based on their own requirements. Our only
concern is to keep supporting our customers till we move to the new driver.
I would really appreciate if you could accept this as this would give us
some time to move to chipidea driver.
