Why are people working on "new functionality" instead of working on getting this out of the staging tree? I really hate adding new functions to staging drivers, as this is not the correct place for drivers to be in the tree. People should be working to get them out of this location, and then you can add new functions to them. So I really don't want to take this series, sorry, someone better start working on getting this out of drivers/staging/ or I'm going to have to drop the driver entirely from the tree. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
