There are too many similar interfaces that are standard that others would be likely to use. For the most part, it is the bus to communicate between the MSM and it's specialized peripherals. We can still put it there, but it will likely be the only driver ever in the directory. David -- Sent by an employee of the Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc.
