What changed, and why is what we need to know. No "wholesale" upgrade of a file is allowed, you need to break the changes up into logical pieces, and send them with a proper description of what happened here. Also, please cc: and properly credit the original authors of these changes, and the maintainer of the driver, to give them a chance to review it. So, sorry, I can't take these 3 patches unless they are broken up properly, and I would like to get an ack from the driver maintainer/author. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
