This became commit 5da41e925656 ("staging: Remove the Android alarm-dev
driver") in today's linux-next (ie, next-20150127). I noticed because a
script I use to check linux-next spotted a minor problem with it.

Here there should have been a line reading
drivers/staging/android/Makefile | 1 -

Is a trivial patch to remove that Makefile line, the one that references
CONFIG_ANDROID_INTF_ALARM_DEV and alarm-dev.o, queued already?
