I would recommend this, as you all have been talking about this for a very long time now with no actual code submissions anywhere (which is what actually matters). Waiting even longer feels like you are just delaying the real work that has to be done, and it prevents hardware that people have now from ever being supported in the device's lifetime. But hey, what do I know about getting code upstream :) good luck! greg k-h
