That was different series. I'm talking about: [PATCH 1/3] staging: nokia_h4: switch to right types and use bdaddr_t [PATCH 2/3] staging: nokia_h4: avoid __uX types [PATCH 3/3] staging: use inlines where it makes sense That is still valid and received no comments at all. > > Please don't, I'd still like to clean the driver up and get included, > > as n900's are still under active use. > > As the Bluetooth maintainer has said a number of times, he doesn't want > the driver in the tree as it is not doing the correct things.

You asked for more work and explained how easy it is to revert the removal. I did more work, you ignored it, and are removing the driver, anyway. > I suggest cleaning this up in your own tree, and then just submitting it > for inclusion in the "normal" part of the kernel. That way I'm not ...creating a mess in the history, and fun merge problems for people actually using the driver :-(. And yes, n900 people actually are using it and have their own changes on top of it.
