Hello, I have read greg kh post about the removal of android from the Linux kernel: http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/android-kernel-problems.html
He says: "This means that any drivers written for Android hardware platforms, can not get merged into the main kernel tree because they have dependencies on code that only lives in Google's kernel tree, causing it to fail to build in the kernel.org tree." I tool a look at the drivers which he removed, from under drivers/staging/android. I tried to build them in an ordinary linux tree : 2.6.29.4-167 and most of them I could build. For example, logger.c , or binder.c. So I don't understand - did he talk about other drivers ? about which driver does he talk ? why did he removed these drivers, under drivers/staging/android? He said: "In order to get a working Android system, you need the new lock type they have created, as well as hooks in the core system for their security model." I grepped under drivers/staging/android for these locks (should be wakelock) and could not find any. Also I cannot find these security hooks. Could someone please elaborate ?
