Subject: [PATCH 1/1] /drivers/net/r6040.c: bad use of round_jiffies() ???

From: Christophe Jaillet <christophe.jaillet@...adoo.fr>

Hi, here is a patch against linux/drivers/net/r6040.c.

Compared to other places in the kernel, I think that this driver misuses
the function round_jiffies.


Note: this patch is based on 'linux-2.6.25.tar.bz2'
