I see. Will look at Li Yu's code to lear better what the Simple Driver Interface idea is about.

In fact, the patches for the split I sent to you and a few other people two weeks ago or so, do exactly this - in some sense "mechanical" split of the generic parts laying currently in USB hid, from the USB-specific ones, and moving them around (sure, some changes are done, like introducing data structures specific to usbhid, etc., but no rocket science yet). This would be nice to merge, if noone has any major objections, and do other development on top of that. I am currently trying to set up an account and git tree for this at kernel.org ... request sent, waiting for reply :) Thanks, -- Jiri Kosina SUSE Labs - 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/
