IIRC, people hoped that the common pinctrl bindings would make it into 3.4. If that happens, the driver won't be unused in 3.4. I don't foresee any changes to the driver except those driven by any changes to the core pinctrl itself, so I don't foresee any need to keep it out of tree. -- nvpublic -- 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/
