As I said in the first email, I'm trying to clarify the terminology. There is
currently no "subsystem" namespace or property in the HAL spec - you seemed to
propose to introduce one and I was trying to understand what "subsystem" would
really signify (on all OSes).
Regarding removing the word physical, I'm guessing you mean properties like
storage.physical_device and net.physical_device? I'm guessing you're not
suggesting to remove all properties described in the Physical Properties chapter
of the HAL spec.
Just a friendly inquiry, a spark of curiosity if you will :)
