Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] replace timeconst bc script with an sh script

(resend because I didn't know gmail would make it html)
Ah sorry about that, I accidentally replied to Kieran only instead of
to all, my response was "I will upload a patch with those issues fixed
shortly, in terms of the dependency as far as I know commands only required
for running tests don't count as kernel compilation dependencies, and I
don't see any other uses of bc except for Documentation/EDID/Makefile, so
I believe that bc can be removed from the kernel compilation section of the
process document and will include that change with the updated patch that
fixes the 2 issues you pointed out."
