Subject: Re: Bug in ks8851.c

Max,
 please cc the actual maintainers of the driver. The patch looks sane,
though. I assume you've tested it in practice?

You also seem to have based this on an ancient version, the code has
long since moved from drivers/net/ks8851.c to
drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ks8851.c (back in June of 2011), and it's
missing a sign-off from you.

I'm attaching an updated patch for the rename/capitalization issue.

     Linus
