Hi, I think that our current problem is that the poll code is not in 2.2 and whoever checked in the code should have at least thought of the incompatibility issues . One option is not to support 2.2 which the poll check in so far seems to imply at least with respect to drivers. The incompatibility inherent with the poll check in was deliberate to force the drivers to migrate to the new interface. A related issue is : what is the cut off point for backwards compatibility?
