The ancillary bus (then known as virtual bus) was originally submitted along with implementation code for the ice driver and irdma drive, causing the complication of also having dependencies in the rdma tree. This new submission is utilizing an ancillary bus consumer in only the sound driver tree to create the initial implementation and a single user.
So this will not work for the ice driver and/or irdma drivers? It would be great to see how they work for this as well as getting those maintainers to review and sign off on this implementation as well. Don't ignore those developers, that's a bit "odd", don't you think?
To drop them from the review process is actually kind of rude, what happens if this gets merged without their input?
And the name, why was it changed and what does it mean? For non-native english speakers this is going to be rough, given that I as a native english speaker had to go look up the word in a dictionary to fully understand what you are trying to do with that name.
Naming is hard, but I think this name is really hard to explain and understand, don't you think?
thanks,
