Subject: RE: [RFC PATCH 1/4] Mobile security processor driver

Hi Greg,

Mark asked me to post the patches for him.

These patches are on 2.6.34 with the 0415 next patch.

We were hoping to get more comments from people to add to TODO list, so that the vendor can plan their work to fix the issues and make the driver more acceptable to the community.  The driver already went through some clean-up, but much more work is still needed.

Thanks,

--Eugene

Why are you posting Mark's patches?

There is no description of what these patches actually do.

Are you wanting them to be applied?

Why have you listed all of the patches with the same subject?

What exactly are you expecting to happen here?

totally confused,

greg k-h


p.s., I think this patch is completly wrong, based on one part:

the code was already published, this can't be an "initial publication"
again :)

What did you diff these against?
