RE: [RFC] staging: ste_rmi4: merge into the main kernel tree

Hi Dmitry,

Please have Greg commit the patch that Henrik reviewed to staging and
then work with Christopher Heiny group on getting the full featured
driver into mainline.

Thanks for your reminding, final patch has been re-sent to staging
maintainer.

In this case you need to enumerate the benefits of this driver over
unified driver and show why the unified driver can't be fixed.

Currently the driver is in mainline (even though the directory is
staging) and nobody will remove it until another driver is fully
functional and ready for prime time. But once this happens I do not see
the benefits of maintaining 2 drivers for the same hardware.

I see. Given that the driver will remain in mainline before generic driver
is ready, currently I will continue to maintain the driver in staging.

Appreciate your response.

Alexandra
