I very much am not inclined to backport this stuff, it impacts an extremely small group of people so the risk/benefit ratio is simply not worth it for me to do the work. If someone else does the work and tests it, I'm willing to ACK it going into -stable. But this change impacted a lot of MDIO drivers and there were regressions that needed to be fixed up the first time this stuff went in. -- 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/
