Hi Jarod,

Please add a TODO file at staging/lirc, describing what's needed for
the drivers to move to the IR branch.

Greg,

It is probably simpler to merge those files via my tree, as they depend
on some changes scheduled for 2.6.36.

Would it be ok for you if I merge them from my tree?

Cheers,
Mauro

No objection from me for them to go through your tree.

Do you want me to handle the cleanup and other fixes after they go into
the tree, or do you want to also handle them as well (either is fine
with me.)

thanks,

See above. :)

It could use some further fleshing out though, particularly, some "known
issues that must be fixed in this specific driver" type things.

The patches were created against yesterday's linux-next tree, so I'd
assumed they could go in via staging for 2.6.36, but...

....it certainly doesn't matter to me if they go in this way instead.

D'oh, sorry, yeah, realized that about 10 minutes after I sent everything.
Figured I'd ping you if you hadn't said anything about 'em in a day or
three.

Note that I've got a git tree I've been maintaining the lirc drivers in
for a while, so whomever is ultimately the gateway, I can also stage
cleanups there -- I'll certainly be pushing any cleanups I do on the lirc
drivers there prior to sending along for upstream, or else I'm liable to
lose track of them... :)

Ops!

Yes, but that's ok for now ;)
