Subject: Re: [KJ][PATCH] Correct misc_register return code handling in several drivers
Hey all-
Since Andrew hasn't incorporated this patch yet, and I had the time, I
redid the patch taking Benjamin's INIT_LIST_HEAD and Joes mmtimer cleanup into
account. New patch attached, replacing the old one, everything except the
aforementioned cleanups is identical.
Thanks & Regards
Neil
