Rodriguez <mcgrof@...not-panic.com> Every driver defines pr_fmt then includes the headers. I do not see any other place which performs the initial undef of pr_fmt like you want to start doing here. If there is a reason we should start doing this, it would appear to be a universal reason, not one specific to this driver. If that's the case, we should formally agree to this and then work on gradually converting all the drivers in reasonably sized chunks. Either way I can't apply this patch as-is, sorry Luis. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
