I assume you are referring to the usb_dev_reset_delayed() change here. This is only required by the wire adapter code and should not prevent the majority of the UWB and WUSB stack from being merged. You should postpone: usb-add-usb_dev_reset_delayed.patch wusb-add-the-wire-adapter-core.patch wusb-add-hwa-hc-wireless-host-controller-driver.patch wusb-wa-abort-rpipe-request-type-fix.patch I will correct the lack of sysfs API documentation this week. Please advise on where the documentation should go and its style and format. Be aware that some of the API is experimental and subject to change. I will ensure the documentation is clear on this and that the Kconfig entries depend on EXPERIMENTAL. Would this be sufficient to reinstate the majority of the UWB and WUSB stacks for 2.6.27? > Because of this, I've dropped all of the patches from my USB queue, so > they will no longer show up in the -next releases anymore. In future, it would be appreciated if any issues with UWB patches are discussed rather than summarily dropping them.
