API changes should have happened weeks ago, to let others fix up things like this. As for the "where they are in development", they vary, but, a simple grep should have shown you that these in-kernel drivers should also be fixed up, or at the least, give me the heads up to let me do it for you. Care to send me the patch that causes this problem so I can create a fix for this? thanks, greg k-h
