Yes, 28b83c5 was merged during the merge window for 2.6.32 so this needs
to be pushed for the staging tree if it's not ripped out.

I don't work with Android, but the "no support from Google" phrase caught
my attention :) It seems like this isn't necessarily about support or
raised issues not being addressed, but rather about a lack of progress
being made developmentally or a general lack of interest in upstream
inclusion. If it was agreed to simply remove it, that's fine, I just was
curious about the rationale.
