AFAICT Sudeep is looking for a solid guarantee that it will continue to be used as-is, on more than one platform and on more than one BSP version. There have been cases where such firmware interfaces had silent ABI breaks (or were replaced altogether) between qc downstream branches and this would be unacceptable. Understandably, having a unified means of communication for *all* Qualcomm chips (i.e. not only auto) going forward would likely be expected.. Konrad
