Are you now accepting sensor drivers on the input layer ? that will make our life a lot easier but we need some definition to avoid having to re-work drivers when we want to push them to mainline. -- balbi -- 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/
