Your guess is as good as mine. It all depends on people's bandwidth to review long series of patches (the particular branch you used is a merge of 3 different series), so I'd expect a smaller, less intrusive series to make it quicker than my monster patch sets... ;-) > If not, I will just rework patch 2/6 to remove exported and use only > clock interface. Make sure all TWD users are updated with the new clock before you merge it then, or people are going to be surprised. M. -- Jazz is not dead.
