But it is not part of Neutron upstream, nor listed in the docs/wiki section. I tried to make it part of Kilo release, but that was when the decomposition proposal was going on. Infact i reviewed the blueprint spec and provided some comments too. Since i had to decompose my driver as per the Kilo's decomposition spec, i deferred it to make it as part of Liberty release. </div><div><br></div><div>Now going thru some wiki pages, blueprint specs etc, i 'm not clear on the procedures/criteria to make my driver integrated with upstream Neutron.
