Marcel, Greg,
I wanted to somehow put this in staging because then it would probably have a thorough architectural review process. Some details about this driver -
1. This driver will be used by Bluetooth-BlueZ/FM-V4L2 and GPS (probably character device driver) using the EXPORTED symbols (-register/_unregister).
2. Much like the hciattach daemon which maintains N_HCI bluetooth line discipline, this driver will also have a User-Space N_TI_WL Init manager (UIM) maintaining the Line discipline.
3. Because of the UIM should know when to install/uninstall line discipline, the /sys entry is created a root called UIM (a new kobject) and UIM daemon would write it's PID to it.
4. As Alan suggested, If I make it self-contained by pushing number of line disciplines to a slightly larger number, then would it be OK ?
