Several users have tried to only rely on binderfs to provide binder devices and set CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="" empty. This is a great use-case of binderfs and one that was always intended to work. However, this is currently not possible since setting CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES="" emtpy will simply panic the kernel:

There is no binderfs on 4.20, so this patch is not needed on anything older than 5.0.

Please drop it from your queues.

thanks,
