Naveen's driver is sitting in drivers/staging/ste_rmi4 right now because
Christopher Heiny is working on a RMI4 bus driver, and wanted to
merge that.

I am happy with this being merged for now if the plan is
to eventually replace it with Christopher's (et al) driver,
if it's not going to disturb the other driver in the end.

How are Synaptics planning to handle the transition?
(I assume you are coordinated... not always the case in
big companies, I know from experience :-)

Remember to keep Henrik Rydberg in the loop on touch
controllers.

Yours,
