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: kobject: (00000000028c2f79): attempted to be registered with empty name!

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
