Yes, I don't really like it, but due to the fact that they are shipping a few million devices using this a day, I kind of want to at least give people a chance to have the code, just like I did for the rest of the Android code that is in the staging directory. > What me and Sebastian as trying to achieve with the gadget configfs > interface, is get rid of all gadget drivers (nokia.c, zero.c, > file_storage.c, etc) and keep only function drivers (f_*.c) in the > kernel.
