Uh?  I had verified my claims before writing previous mail..

The patch ("via82cxxx: workaround h/w bugs") appeared in Linus'
tree on 19th January and it was neither in next-20100101 nor in
next-20100119.. etc.

Why?  I have no idea..  I've just noticed it today..

Not my area of responsibility..

Please..

You picked a patch out of larger patch series posted to a mailing
list (which was clearly marked as a one for my atang tree and not
for upstream), then you merged it adding your sign-off, did poor
job w.r.t. linux-next testing phase and now I'm the one to blame
for the breakage? :)

Well, your stance on kernel project management has been already
made crystal clear during rt28xx driver discussions so I'm not
really surprised here.  I also don't remember ever signing support
contract with you or your employer so I will be putting your mails
into a separate folder (lets call it 'almost-spam') from now on..
