Subject: Does anyone read device.txt etc?

Hi All,

I'm just wondering if some corners of our documentation are useful or not.

So straw poll.  Has anyone ever read the stuff in

device.txt?
trigger.txt?
ring.txt?

I'm tempted to drop all 3 of these as pointless maintenance
overhead...

Obviously those I've cc'd are actually active developers and probably
don't look at any docs at all that often, so other lurkers / new developers
please do respond to this email!

A well commented dummy driver would be better for explaining these
things.

Thanks,

Jonathan
