No problem - let me know which branch/tag to work with, and we'll be 
happy to patch against that for the next round.

Hmmm.  Since rmi_function_container has evolved into a child device of 
the RMI4 module, maybe it would be better renamed rmi_function_device or 
rmi_function_dev?  I find this clearer, but can live with just 
rmi_function if you prefer that.


Similarly, rmi_function_handler has evolved into a driver for such 
devices, so perhaps it should be renamed rmi_function_driver?
