I agree that we need to get tcpm out of staging, and soon (I was not expecting it to go staging at all, but as Guenter said, it's good to have it in), but I also want to make sure that nobody, instead of spending the time to get tcpm out of staging, starts preparing their own USB PD state machines. That is really what has been happening, and will continue to happen unless we do something. So I want to make sure tcpm is being developed instead of something else, and that is the reason I want to hook up also our whiskeycove driver with it already at this point. I hope that makes sense.
