Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] toshiba: Add correct printk log level while emitting
error log
Out of 15 contributors mentioned in driver file, 9 got invalid email
domains, 6 are unresponsive.
Let us keep the driver as-is for sometime more time & hope to hear
from the author soon in future.
Please drop v1,v2. What do you think Joe.
