I'm subscribed here, too :-)

I've seen the patch, but did not decide yet what to do with it.  Many
drivers  don't  support  devfs  anyway, and in my opinion devfs makes
little sense in embedded systems anyway. Not to mention that it  will
officially  be removed from the kernel tree in less than 4 weeks from
now (see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
