Please stop going on about this, as has previously been discussed we do *NOT* require board files, device tree files or any other kind of board description to be included in mainline. There is no expectation that we will see anything instantiating any particular device included in the kernel source, and in some cases such as ACPI this never happens at all. I'm not sure how this can be made any clearer. --N7HXVILz59yg1nI8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJVv4xKAAoJECTWi3JdVIfQTRYH/j7pP/xlxa7wsHE4fwMd6EIV JH/IRj+0mbgQ6f8tJYjajZDPPwZIc5D4OpVON8tymCfZRCKIWtv+ZTveb6eZfJS8 vzGiEw6DMHuTdmeijiRd/5VZcm7X1cAzjFhC03gMMzU9wlKt37HFR8v5SJbM91qs TVLzp307LLgMnU+qI1v6twMuHgSEiWvDvIIowOmQf2SW9Nopsbs1/iw9GSZVYB3o CCbag34CVWe5yIL5ack/szX8FGshu1nprKZy4hFQYp6uA/TrJKfUvu47l7/ZPr/3 TIQkS4OFBAJqmIWeDD0uIOkl4lVO0Ivr5ktIhm9a0teSaQ4y7JzS/AMdW+8wmMo= =Z1QN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --N7HXVILz59yg1nI8--
