I saw Dan reviewing > one earlier, just wondering. I didn't know it was being removed. My expectation is that we'll probably keep merging patches until it's actually removed. It's sometimes easier to just merge easy uncontroversial things without trying to track everything happening in the kernel. We should obviously delete the driver as soon as the other patch is merged. regards, dan carpenter
