Yes, I'll be glad to see more of the usbcore cleanups happen.
Here are a random bunch of things
- Someone just emailed me for help on that classic, and still
unresolved, issue of associating a device from 'lsusb' (etc)
with the right /dev/... printer node. This is largely an
issue usbcore (or the driver model) should solve; it's not
specific to printers (or scanners, or any other driver).
Not terribly specific to USB. That's why driverfs was invented,
wasn't it?
But it's still un-resolved, and we _know_ this is an end-user
configurability (usability) issue already. More impact than many
other problems that get discussed here...
And near as I can tell, NO driverfs hasn't wanted to solve this
in any general way; that'd be "devfs", maybe. Though I've seen
some block devices showing up through symlinks whose basenames
match /dev/... node basenames, and that might be useful.
That's hardly a complete list of course.
And how much is 2.7? It's a very long list :-(.
Is it? Depends how many people are taking things off it,
and I'd hope the point of having a shared list is that
it's easier for lurkers to help. (There are quite a lot
of folk who'd like to make small contributions, but aren't
quite sure where to start.)
I am afraid we'll have to set priorities.
I think the effective way to do that, in Linux, is to
pick a bug and fix it ... then repeat. If lots of
people are doing that, coordination can prevent wasted
effort; one way we coordinate is by merging into Greg's
trees and then into Linus' and Marcelo's trees.
