Ah I remember you mentioning that before. Is Nick's work still active? The link you sent me to the "latest status" was nearly a year ago: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/27/311 ... and while the github link you sent: https://github.com/ndyer/linux/commits/for-next-20140316-v8 ... has much more recent activity, it hasn't been touched /that/ recently either. To be honest, it'd be a bit off-putting to hold up a trivial patch series like this and make it wait for a huge refactoring series that's obviously been dragging on for a long time... -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-input" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
