I don't see what's specific about mmc in that patch, nor omap. It's
just a fix for an obvious mistake that must be picked ASAP and can't
possibly be NAK'ed.

There's a tree for trivial fixes:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jikos/trivial

And one for includecheck:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jaswinder/linux-2.6

What's the procedure for obvious fixes? I'm CC'ing Greg KH and Andrew
Morton because I think they might interested in fixing these kinds of
issues quickly in the future.

Cheers.
