Subject: RE: [PATCH 0/4] Add Toshiba Visconti DNN image processing accelerator
 driver

Hi Hans,

I'm going to submit DNN driver (with misc driver style) again.
Updated version will include corrections suggested in reviews.

For example:
* apply checkpatch.pl --strict
* uppercase letters in function name -> make them lowercase
* use of integer types: uint32_t -> u32 ( _u32 in user API header )

Please let me know further actions which should be done before submission.

Regards,
	Yuji Ishikawa
