Is there any reason why we can't mecanically move everything into drivers/hid right now? Then Greg could simply forward all patches he gets for HID your way and you won't have hard time merging your work with others... -- Dmitry - 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/
