Here's the big staging tree pull request for 3.19-rc1. We continued to delete more lines than were added, always a good thing, but not at a huge rate this release, only about 70k lines removed overall mostly from removing the horrid bcm driver. Lots of normal staging driver cleanups and fixes all over the place, well over a thousand of them, the shortlog shows all the horrid details. The "contentious" thing here is the movement of the Android binder code out of staging into the "real" part of the kernel. This is code that has been stable for a few years now and is working as-is in the tens of millions of devices with no issues. Yes, the code is horrid, and the userspace api leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not going to change due to legacy issues that we have no control over. Because so many devices and companies rely on this, and the code is stable, might as well promote it out of staging. This was all discussed at the Linux Plumbers conference, and everyone participating agreed that this was the best way forward. There is work happening to replace the binder code with something new that is happening right now, but I don't expect to see the results of that work for another year at the earliest. If that ever happens, and Android switches over to it, I'll gladly remove this version. As for maintainers, I'll be glad to maintain this code, I've been doing it for the past few years with no problems. I'll send a MAINTAINERS entry for it before 3.19-final is out, still need to talk to the Google developers about if they are willing to help with it or not, last I checked they were, which was good. All of these patches have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues.

OZWPAN USB Host Controller Driver --------------------------------- This driver is a USB HCD driver that does not have an associated a physical device but instead uses Wi-Fi to communicate with the wireless peripheral. The USB requests are converted into a layer 2 network protocol and transmitted on the network using an ethertype (0x892e) regestered to Ozmo Device Inc. This driver is compatible with existing wireless devices that use Ozmo Devices technology. To operate the driver must be bound to a suitable network interface. This can be done when the module is loaded (specifying the name of the network interface as a parameter - e.g. 'insmod ozwpan g_net_dev=go0') or can be bound after loading using an ioctl call. See the ozappif.h file and the ioctls OZ_IOCTL_ADD_BINDING and OZ_IOCTL_REMOVE_BINDING. The devices connect to the host use Wi-Fi Direct so a network card that supports Wi-Fi direct is required. A recent version (0.8.x or later) version of the wpa_supplicant can be used to setup the network interface to create a persistent autonomous group (for older pre-WFD peripherals) or put in a listen state to allow group negotiation to occur for more recent devices that support WFD. The protocol used over the network does not directly mimic the USB bus transactions as this would be rather busy and inefficient. Instead the chapter 9 requests are converted into a request/response pair of messages. (See ozprotocol.h for data structures used in the protocol).
