Andrew Morton's patch to fix the parentheses imbalance in the original
patch was missed (sorry for the initial error).  This breaks checkpatch
in tip; could you pull in this too from -mm to tip?

Sorry for the extra trouble

-Pat


(FROM ANDREW):

The patch titled
     checkpatch-prefer-usleep_range-over-udelay-fix
has been added to the -mm tree.  Its filename is
     checkpatch-prefer-usleep_range-over-udelay-fix.patch

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code ***

See http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find
out what to do about this

The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

mismatched parentheses?
