Hi Christoph,
quoted
these functions must stay. They have users outside the mainline kernel
that are not merged back yet. Otherwise they won't be exported ;)
But we traditionally don't keep APIs only for the sake of external modules.
Exceptions are made if you have short- to mid-term plans to merge them.
it is a short term plan, because otherwise I won't have submitted it in
the first place. And as I said, they are not merged back yet. They are
not tested enough for mainline at the moment.
Regards
Marcel
