Hi,

You mean in my case, appropriate subsystem tree is ARM tree.
But I think, as Ben commented, it's better drivers go to upstream via the
driver's tree.
And of course, I read your comments about this like below...
'platform drivers do not build and/or work without additional platform
glue...'

Hmm.
I'm not sure which way is better...

Russell,

How do you think?
May I send this to your patch tracking system?
Or...how should I handle this?

Thanks.

Best regards,
Kgene.
