I'm subscribed here, too :-)
I've seen the patch, but did not decide yet what to do with it. Many
drivers don't support devfs anyway, and in my opinion devfs makes
little sense in embedded systems anyway. Not to mention that it will
officially be removed from the kernel tree in less than 4 weeks from
now (see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
