I can lead this.

This is a kitchen sink of a topic though and something that's been
discussed several times recently at ELC and Plumbers. There's not much
point in rehashing the problem (go watch the conference videos), but
instead we should perhaps drill down into specific issues where we
have the right people present. Here's my list:

- Gaps in driver subsystems:
  - WiFi - Android gaps: mode switching, P2P, Chromecast, roaming,
ePNO, Passpoint
  - DRM/Graphics
  - BT/GPS/NFC - proper kernel drivers for serial devices
  - LEDs - tri-color support, defining roles (e.g. Android attention LED).
  - H/W video codecs
  - Camera
  - Battery/charger issues
- Android Memory management - What to do with ION?
- Power management - ?
- How to speed up mainlining process?

Other topics?
