Subject: Re: [PATCH 0/7] Nexus One Support

You did not write ANY code for the mahimahi (Nexus One) board. You
took patches from the android.git.kernel.org git server, squashed some
together, and then slapped your name on them as the author. I
appreciate your effort to send this code upstream and do whatever
minor cleanups, but I still maintain that you are not the author of
this code.
